Why is it masculine?

Collar (necklace) is masculine in Spanish. It derives from Latin "collare," a neuter noun referring to a neck ornament. While the etymology is correct, the gender explanation oversimplifies: neuter Latin nouns did not uniformly shift to masculine in Romance languages. "Collar" became masculine in Spanish through specific phonological and analogical processes, but this word's gender is best learned as a lexical fact rather than derived from a general rule about neuter noun evolution.
