Why is it masculine?

Guante is masculine. While it does derive from Old French "gant", the etymology explanation is imprecise. The word comes from Old French "gant" (itself of Germanic origin), which was borrowed into Spanish and adopted the masculine gender. In Spanish, many nouns ending in -e are masculine, particularly those borrowed from other Romance languages. "Guante" follows this pattern as a masculine noun ending in -e.
