Why is it masculine?

Datos is masculine because it derives from the Latin "datum" (neuter nominative), which became masculine in Spanish through regular sound changes and the tendency of neuter Latin nouns ending in "-um" to shift to the masculine gender in Romance languages. The word originally meant "something given" or "fact," retaining its masculine form as Spanish evolved from Latin.
