Why is it masculine?
Legno (wood) is masculine because it derives from Latin "lignum," a neuter noun of the second declension. During the evolution from Latin to Italian, most Latin neuter nouns were absorbed into the masculine gender, following the accusative form "lignum" which became the basis for Romance language development. This neuter-to-masculine shift is a characteristic pattern in Italian's grammatical evolution.
