Why is it masculine?
Hígado is masculine because it derives from Latin "jecur" (liver), which was a neuter noun. In the evolution from Latin to Spanish, the neuter gender collapsed and most neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender, which is what occurred with this word. The masculine gender reflects this regular historical sound and gender change rather than being an exception.
