Why is it masculine?
Ensayo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "exagium" (a weighing or weighing out). While Latin "exagium" was neuter, it evolved through Old Spanish forms and became associated with the masculine -o ending pattern in Spanish. The word's meaning evolved from "a trial weighing" to "an attempt" and eventually "an essay" or "rehearsal."
