Why is it masculine?
Hospital is masculine in Spanish because it derives from the Latin "hospitāle," which was a neuter noun that became masculine when adopted into Romance languages, likely influenced by the masculine article and gender patterns of common Spanish nouns ending in -al (like "hospital," "animal," "metal"). The gender assignment reflects a general pattern where Latin neuter nouns tended to shift toward masculine in Spanish rather than feminine.
