Why is it masculine?

Schermo is masculine because it ends in "-o", which is the standard masculine singular ending in Italian. The word derives from Latin "scherma" (fencing/shield), and when this feminine Latin noun was adopted into Italian, it underwent the regular phonetic change from the Latin "-a" ending to the Italian masculine "-o" ending, following the productive pattern of masculine nouns in Italian.
