Why is it masculine?
Ciudadano is masculine because it derives from Latin "civitanus" (citizen), which inherited the masculine gender of "civis" (citizen), the root noun from which it was formed. Gender in Romance languages was largely inherited directly from Latin rather than assigned by a productive rule, making this a matter of historical transmission rather than a synchronic pattern.
