Why is it masculine?

Envase is masculine. It is a noun (not derived from a verb) meaning "container" or "packaging." The word comes from the Spanish verb "envasar" (to package/bottle), which itself derives from "vaso" (glass/vessel). The masculine gender is inherited from "vaso," which comes from Latin "vāsum" (masculine). Spanish nouns ending in -e show variable gender, but "envase" maintains the masculine gender of its etymological root.
