Why is it masculine?
Macchinario is masculine because it derives from the Latin "machina" (feminine) combined with the Italian masculine diminutive/augmentative suffix "-ario," which consistently produces masculine nouns—the suffix itself carries masculine gender regardless of the root word's original gender. This is a regular application of Italian morphological rules where the suffix's gender overrides the etymological gender of the base word.
