Why is it masculine?
Voto is masculine. It derives from Latin "votum" (a vow or wish), which was a neuter noun in Latin. However, the word's primary meaning in modern Italian is "grade" or "vote" (as in a mark given for academic work or a ballot cast). While the etymology from Latin "votum" is correct, the gender assignment to masculine in Italian is not explained by a general neuter-to-masculine shift. Instead, "voto" is masculine simply because it followed the pattern of many Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" that became masculine in Italian (e.g., "murum" > "muro"). The masculine gender is a regular phonetic and morphological development from Latin neuter nouns rather than an exceptional adoption.
