Why is it masculine?
Dovere is masculine because it derives from the Latin "debere" (to owe), which as a noun became "debitum" (debt/duty), a neuter form that evolved into the masculine in Italian following the general Romance language pattern where Latin neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender. The semantic shift from "debt" to "duty/obligation" preserved this masculine classification.
