Why is it masculine?

Lettore is masculine because it derives from the Latin "lector" (masculine noun meaning "reader"), which follows the standard Italian pattern where Latin masculine -or nouns become masculine -ore nouns in Italian. This reflects the historical linguistic evolution from Latin through Vulgar Latin into Romance languages, where grammatical gender was preserved from the original Latin forms.
