Why is it masculine?

Jueves is masculine because it derives from Latin "Iovis dies" (Jupiter's day). In Latin, "dies" (day) is masculine, and when this compound was adopted into Spanish, it retained the masculine gender of the noun "dies." The gender became fixed in Spanish as a single word, maintaining the masculine form even as the etymological connection to Jupiter faded from everyday awareness.
