Why is it masculine?
Lago is masculine because it derives from Latin "lacus" (a lake or body of water), which was a second-declension masculine noun. Italian inherited this grammatical gender through regular phonetic evolution, where the Latin masculine nominative singular ending -us was reduced to -o in Italian, preserving the masculine gender of the original Latin noun.
