Talloni (heel) is masculine because it derives from the Latin "talus," which was a masculine noun referring to the ankle bone or ankle joint, and Italian masculine nouns typically preserve the gender of their Latin etymons. The word's masculine gender was thus inherited directly from its Latin grammatical classification.
