Why is it masculine?
Gomito (elbow) is correctly identified as a masculine noun. However, the etymological claim is inaccurate. "Gomito" derives from Latin "comitus" (meaning "bent" or related to "gomphus"), not from "cubitus" (which would give forms like "codo" in Spanish or "coude" in French). The masculine gender is indeed inherited from Latin, but the specific Latin etymon cited is incorrect. The word's masculine gender reflects the inherited masculine declension of its actual Latin source word.
