Why is it masculine?
Cimiento is masculine. It derives from Latin "caementum" (cement, building material), which was a neuter noun. However, the gender shift from neuter to masculine in Spanish occurred because Latin neuter nouns typically evolved into masculine forms in Spanish when the nominative and accusative endings merged. The -o ending in Spanish is characteristically masculine, and this regular phonetic evolution from Latin neuter -um endings to Spanish -o endings resulted in these words becoming masculine rather than feminine.
