Why is it masculine?

Conocimiento is masculine because it ends in "-o", which is the characteristic masculine singular ending for Spanish nouns. It derives from the Latin "cognoscentia" (neuter plural), but evolved through the verb "conocer" (to know). During the transition from Latin to Spanish, abstract nouns formed from verb stems were systematized with masculine "-o" endings, following the productive pattern of Spanish noun formation.
