Why is it masculine?
Bolsillo is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "bursa" (purse/bag), the etymology is more straightforward: the word came through Spanish as "bolsa" (feminine, meaning "bag"), and then the diminutive suffix "-illo" was added to create "bolsillo." The "-illo" suffix in Spanish typically produces masculine nouns, which accounts for "bolsillo" being masculine despite deriving from the feminine "bolsa."
