Why is it masculine?

Conigli is masculine because it derives from the Latin "cunniculus," which was grammatically masculine, and Italian inherited this gender classification through regular sound changes (the Latin -us ending typically became -o in masculine Italian nouns). The word ultimately has uncertain pre-Latin origins, possibly from a Hispano-Celtic source, but its masculine gender is simply a direct inheritance from Latin grammar.
