Why is it masculine?
Barco (boat) is masculine. It derives from Latin "barca," which came from Greek "baris" or a similar source. The word is masculine in Spanish because it retained the masculine gender from Latin, where it was classified as a masculine noun (-us ending in Latin masculine declension, though "barca" itself followed the first declension feminine pattern in Latin). Spanish inherited this gender through regular sound changes and grammatical transmission from Vulgar Latin.
