Why is it masculine?

Cliente is masculine in Spanish because it derives from the Latin "cliens" (nominative singular), which was grammatically masculine.

However, in modern Spanish, "cliente" can be used for both male and female clients, with the article and adjectives indicating gender when necessary (el cliente/la cliente).
