Why is it masculine?
Costumi is masculine in Italian. However, the word has two distinct meanings: 1) "custom" or "habit" (masculine), derived from Latin "consuetudo" (a feminine noun meaning custom/habit); 2) "costume" or "clothing" (masculine), from French "costume." The gender preservation claim is problematic because Latin "consuetudo" was actually feminine, yet "costume" became masculine in Italian. The masculine gender likely reflects the influence of the French loanword or reanalysis during Romance language evolution.
