Why is it masculine?
Abrazo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "abrachiare" (to embrace), which became "abrazare" in Vulgar Latin, and nouns formed from this verb root inherited the masculine gender that became standard in Spanish for most action-derived nouns ending in -o. The masculine ending -o itself, inherited from Latin's first conjugation noun patterns, reinforced this gender assignment.
