Why is it masculine?

Hombros derives from Latin "umerus" (shoulder), which was a masculine noun (second declension). Spanish maintained this masculine gender through regular sound changes during the language's evolution from Latin. The Latin nominative "umerus" > Spanish "hombro" follows typical Vulgar Latin phonetic development. However, gender assignment in Spanish is largely arbitrary and inherited from Latin rather than following a predictable modern rule based on word form or meaning.
