Why is it masculine?

Scopo is masculine because it derives from Latin "scopus," which was itself borrowed from Greek "skopos" (σκοπός) meaning "target" or "aim," and Latin masculine nouns ending in -us typically remain masculine when inherited by Romance languages like Italian. This is a regular inheritance pattern rather than an exception.
