Why is it masculine?
Ajos (garlic) is masculine because it derives from Latin "allium," a neuter noun of the second declension (-ium ending). In Late Latin, many neuter nouns were reanalyzed as masculine due to phonetic similarity and analogical pressure. When "allium" evolved into Spanish "ajo" through regular sound changes, it became grammatically masculine, following the pattern of most Spanish masculine nouns ending in -o.
