Why is it masculine?
Arrecifes (reef) is masculine. While the word does derive from Arabic origins (likely from "al-rasīf" or similar), the more immediate explanation for its masculine gender is that Spanish nouns ending in "-e" are frequently masculine, and this pattern, combined with the word's historical integration into Spanish, established it as a masculine noun. The Arabic etymology is plausible, but the primary reason for the masculine gender is the typical gender assignment for Spanish words with this phonetic ending.
