Why is it masculine?
Hobby is masculine in Italian (l'hobby) because it's a borrowed English word that Italian adopted in the mid-20th century. Foreign loanwords in Italian often default to masculine gender, particularly when they don't end in typically feminine suffixes (-a, -e). Since "hobby" is a modern English loanword with no Italian etymological root, it follows the general pattern of masculine gender assignment for indeclinable foreign words.
