Why is it masculine?

Cueros (leather) is masculine because it derives from Latin "corium," which was a masculine noun of the third declension, and Spanish inherited this grammatical gender through regular sound changes. The Latin root itself likely comes from an Indo-European base related to skin or hide, though the specific reason for its original masculine classification in Latin is lost to history.
