Why is it masculine?

Jardines is masculine. While it does derive from Persian "gīrāh" via Arabic "jardīn," the word retained masculine gender likely due to its ending in "-ín" (a masculine diminutive suffix in Spanish) rather than adopting the feminine "-a" ending. The etymological connection to Latin "hortus" is indirect and the claim about preservation through "huerto" is problematic since "huerto" is a separate word with its own development path.
