Why is it masculine?
Viso is masculine because it descends from Latin "visus" (masculine), the past participle of "videre" (to see), which retained the masculine gender through regular sound changes in Romance language evolution. The semantic shift from "that which is seen" to "face" occurred in Vulgar Latin, but the grammatical gender remained tied to its masculine Latin origin.
