Why is it masculine?
Nastro (ribbon) is masculine. While it does derive from Latin, the etymology is unclear and the explanation is inaccurate. The word likely comes from Latin "nodus" (knot) or a related root, not "nasturtium" (a plant). Italian masculine nouns often derive from Latin masculine or neuter nouns ending in -um, which typically became -o in Italian. "Nastro" follows the common pattern of Latin neuter nouns in -um becoming Italian masculine nouns in -o.
