Why is it masculine?

Equipos is masculine because it derives from the Latin "equipum" (neuter accusative of "equipus"), which comes from "equus" (horse). In Spanish, Latin neuter nouns (ending in "-um") typically became masculine nouns ending in "-o". The word originally referred to equipment or outfit, particularly for horses and riders, before broadening to mean "team" or "equipment" more generally. This follows the predictable modern Spanish gender rule where Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" consistently became masculine "-o" nouns.
