Why is it masculine?
Impiegato is masculine because it derives from the Latin "implicatus" (past participle of "implicare," meaning to involve or employ), and Latin past participles ending in -atus became masculine nouns in Italian with the -o ending, following the pattern of first-declension masculine nouns. The feminine form "impiegata" exists when referring to female employees, demonstrating Italian's gender agreement system.
