Why is it masculine?

Grupo is masculine. While the word does derive from Italian "gruppo," the etymological chain and explanation need clarification. The word ultimately traces back to a Germanic source, but the key reason it's masculine in Spanish is the productive masculine gender pattern of Spanish nouns ending in -o. Most Spanish nouns ending in -o are masculine by default, and "grupo" follows this standard pattern. The masculine gender is not anomalous or unexplained—it simply reflects the regular gender assignment rule for -o ending nouns in Spanish.
