Why is it masculine?
Soffitto is masculine because it derives from the Latin "suffixum" (past participle of "suffigere," meaning "to fix or attach underneath"), which inherited the neuter gender of Latin "-um" endings that typically became masculine in Italian. Like many Italian nouns ending in "-o," it followed the standard pattern of neuter Latin nouns shifting to masculine gender in the Romance language evolution.
