Why is it masculine?
Fili is masculine because it derives from Latin "filum" (thread), which was a neuter noun in Latin but became masculine in Italian following the regular sound changes that caused most Latin neuter nouns to shift to the masculine gender in Romance languages. This shift occurred because Latin neuter endings were reanalyzed and absorbed into masculine patterns during the evolution from Latin to Italian.
