Why is it masculine?
Aceites is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "oleum" (oil), the etymology requires correction: the word comes from Arabic "az-zait" (olive oil), which was borrowed into Spanish during the medieval period when Arabic was widely spoken in Iberia. This Arabic origin accounts for the "-eite" ending. The masculine gender in Spanish follows the pattern of most Spanish nouns ending in "-e", though the Arabic source word's gender characteristics also influenced its adoption as masculine in Spanish.
