Why is it masculine?

Cuaderno is masculine because it derives from the Latin "quaternus" (meaning "consisting of four"), a masculine adjective. In Latin, nouns derived from masculine adjectives typically retained masculine gender. The word originally referred to a folded sheet of parchment divided into four parts, and this masculine gender persisted as the word evolved through Spanish.
