Why is it masculine?

Mariti (husband) is masculine because it derives from Latin "maritus," which was grammatically masculine and originally meant "married" or "suitable for marriage" before becoming the noun for husband. The masculine gender was preserved through the phonetic evolution from Latin to Italian, following the regular pattern where Latin masculine -us endings typically become Italian masculine -o nouns.
