Why is it masculine?

Botones is masculine because it derives from the Latin "bottōnem" (accusative of "bottō"), which referred to a knob or bud, and Latin nouns ending in -ō were typically masculine—a gender that was preserved when the word evolved into Spanish. The diminutive-like suffix "-ón" in Spanish also tends to assign masculine gender to nouns.
