Why is it masculine?

Pensieri is masculine because it derives from the Latin "pensus" (past participle of "pensare," to weigh or think), which followed the masculine second declension pattern (-us > -o in Italian). The word evolved from Latin "pensus" to Italian "pensiero" through regular sound changes. Italian nouns ending in "-o" are typically masculine, which reinforces this gender assignment.
