Why is it masculine?

Corazón is masculine. The word derives from Latin "cor" (heart), a neuter noun. In Spanish, the -ón suffix is typically associated with masculine gender. Words ending in -ón are generally masculine (e.g., "león", "ratón", "botón"), and "corazón" follows this pattern. The masculine gender is reinforced by the productive -ón suffix rather than being an exception to gender patterns.
