Why is it masculine?
Muro is masculine because it derives from Latin "murus" (wall), which was a masculine second-declension noun, and Italian inherited this grammatical gender through regular sound changes that preserved the -o ending characteristic of masculine nouns. The Latin gender itself likely reflects ancient Indo-European patterns where this root was assigned masculine gender, though the specific semantic reason is not definitively known.
