Why is it masculine?

Prezzemoli (parsley) is masculine because it derives from Latin "petroselinum," which was a neuter noun (following the Latin -um ending typical of neuter nouns). However, in the evolution from Latin to Italian, many neuter nouns were reanalyzed as masculine, particularly those ending in -um which developed into the Italian masculine -o ending. This gender shift is common in Romance language evolution.
