Why is it masculine?

Infermieri is masculine because it derives from the Latin "infirmarius" (masculine noun meaning "one who is infirm" or "caretaker of the infirm"), which Italian inherited with its original masculine gender. The feminine form "infermiera" was later created by applying the standard Italian feminine suffix "-a" to the masculine root.
