Why is it masculine?

Lavandini is masculine because it is derived from "lavanda" (lavender plant) with the diminutive suffix "-ino", which creates a masculine noun meaning "sink" or "washbasin". The word entered Italian from Spanish "lavandero" and similar Romance language forms, ultimately related to Latin "lavare" (to wash). The masculine gender is inherent to the diminutive form "-ino" when applied to this context.
