Why is it masculine?
Brote is masculine. While it does derive from Latin roots related to sprouting/budding, the gender is best explained by its ending in -e combined with its semantic category. Many Spanish nouns ending in -e are masculine, particularly those denoting actions, results, or abstract concepts (like "corte," "baile," "viaje"). "Brote" follows this pattern as a noun meaning both "sprout" (a thing/result) and "outbreak" (an event/result).
