Por que é masculine?

Universi is masculine in Italian because it derives from Latin "universus," which was a masculine adjective meaning "whole" or "universal." Italian retained this grammatical gender from Latin through regular phonological and morphological evolution. The Latin adjective "universus" comes from "unus" (one) combined with "versus" (turned/directed), but the etymological analysis of the components is less important than recognizing that Italian simply inherited the masculine gender from the Latin masculine form.
