Why is it masculine?
Uovo is masculine in Italian. It derives from Latin "ovum" (neuter), but underwent gender reassignment to masculine during the evolution from Vulgar Latin to Italian. However, "uovo" is exceptional among masculine nouns because it retains the neuter plural form "uova" (feminine) rather than following the standard masculine plural "-i" ending. The singular masculine "-o" ending reinforces its masculine gender in the singular form.
