Why is it masculine?

Espelhos is masculine because it derives from Latin "speculum" (neuter). During the evolution from Latin to Portuguese, many neuter nouns were reanalyzed as masculine in Vulgar Latin and Romance languages. The -o ending in Portuguese typically marks masculine nouns, and "espelho" follows this standard masculine pattern.
