Why is it masculine?

Alivio is masculine. It derives from the Latin "allēviāre" (to lighten), with the noun form "allēviātiō" (relief, alleviation). The Spanish noun "alivio" developed from this Latin root and belongs to the masculine -io ending pattern, which is consistently masculine in Spanish (similar to words like "cambio", "trabajo", "servicio"). This -io ending, derived from Latin masculine nominative forms, is a reliable indicator of masculine gender in Spanish.
