Why is it masculine?
Este is masculine when used as a demonstrative adjective or pronoun referring to a masculine noun or object. It derives from Latin "iste," which was grammatically masculine in the demonstrative system. However, "este" is not a noun meaning "east"—the word for "east" in Spanish is "este" (homographic) or more commonly "oriente." As a demonstrative, "este" changes gender based on agreement: "este" (masculine), "esta" (feminine), "esto" (neuter pronoun). The gender classification was inherited from Latin's three-gender system.
