Why is it masculine?

Azúcar is masculine in Spanish, derived from Arabic "al-sukkar" (the sugar) borrowed during the medieval period. However, in modern Spanish, "azúcar" is actually used with both genders depending on region and context, though masculine is standard in most of Spain and Latin America. The word does not have a commonly used archaic feminine form "azúcara."
