Why is it masculine?
Fidanzati is masculine because it derives from the Italian verb "fidanzare" (to betroth/to engage), which comes from Latin "fidare" (to trust/to pledge). The suffix "-ato" forms the past participle, and when used as a noun referring to a male person, it takes the masculine gender. The feminine "fidanzata" uses the corresponding feminine form "-ata", following standard Italian gender agreement patterns for agent nouns and adjectives derived from verbs.
