Why is it masculine?

Compañeros is masculine because it derives from Latin "companio" (formed from "com-" meaning "with" and "panis" meaning "bread"), which was a masculine noun referring to a messmate or someone who shared bread with you, and Spanish retained this masculine gender when the word evolved. The feminine form "compañera" was later created by adding the feminine suffix "-a" to the base form.
