Why is it masculine?
Scrittore is masculine because it derives from the Latin "scriptor" (one who writes), which carried the masculine gender in Latin's three-gender system, and Italian retained this gender assignment when the word evolved phonetically. The "-tore" suffix in Italian, inherited from Latin "-tor," is inherently masculine and typically denotes male agents of actions.
