Why is it masculine?

Hermanos is a masculine noun meaning "brother" that inherited its gender from Latin "germanus" (brother), which was grammatically masculine. In Latin, kinship terms for male relatives were consistently marked masculine. This masculine gender was preserved through the evolution from Latin to Spanish, making it a historical gender inheritance rather than following a productive modern gender rule.
