Why is it masculine?
Motivi is masculine because it derives from the Latin "motivus" (adjective meaning "moving" or "causing motion"). In Latin, the masculine form of this adjective was "motivus." Italian inherited this grammatical gender through regular sound changes, where Latin masculine adjectives and nouns ending in -us regularly became -o in Italian. The -o ending in Italian consistently marks masculine nouns descended from Latin masculine forms.
