Professore is masculine because it derives from the Latin noun "professor" (masculine). In Latin, agent nouns ending in -or (from verbs like "profiteri," meaning "to profess or declare publicly") were grammatically masculine. Italian inherited this masculine gender assignment through regular sound changes from Latin to Italian, where Latin -or became Italian -ore.
