Why is it masculine?

Finales is masculine in Spanish because it derives from Latin "finalis" (adjective form of "finis," meaning end). In Spanish, adjectives ending in -al are generally masculine by default form, though "final" is actually an adjective, not a noun. When used as a noun ("el final" = "the end"), it takes masculine gender. The word is correctly identified as masculine, but the explanation conflates adjective gender agreement with inherent noun gender.
