Why is it masculine?

Cerebros is masculine because it derives from Latin "cerebrum," which was a neuter noun in Latin but was reanalyzed as masculine when adopted into Spanish, likely due to the masculine ending -o that became the default for Spanish nouns. The shift reflects how Spanish's three-gender Latin system (masculine, feminine, neuter) collapsed into two genders, with most neuter nouns migrating to the masculine class.
