Why is it masculine?

Passati (past) is masculine because it is derived from the Latin past participle "passus," which is masculine. In Italian, the -o ending is the standard masculine singular ending for adjectives and nouns, and "passato" maintains this masculine form from Latin. While "passus" comes from the verb "patior" (to suffer), the word "passato" in modern Italian functions primarily as an adjective meaning "past" or "bygone," and can also be used as a noun meaning "the past." The masculine gender is preserved through the standard masculine -o ending.
