Why is it masculine?
Beso is masculine because it derives from Latin "basium," which was a masculine noun, and Spanish generally preserved the gender of Latin words ending in -um (which typically became masculine -o endings in Spanish). This is a regular pattern rather than an exception, as most Spanish masculine nouns ending in -o come from Latin masculine nouns ending in -um.
