Why is it masculine?
Zucchero is masculine because it ends in "-o," which is the standard masculine singular ending in Italian. While it does derive from Latin "saccharum" (borrowed from Arabic "sukkar"), the key reason for its masculine gender in Italian is the regular masculine gender assignment for nouns ending in "-o," not because Latin "saccharum" was neuter/masculine—Latin neuter nouns typically became masculine in Italian when they ended in "-um."
