Why is it masculine?

Lagartos is masculine because it derives from Latin "lacertus," which was grammatically masculine in Latin, and Spanish retained this gender assignment when the word evolved. The Latin root itself likely comes from an Indo-European base, but the immediate reason for the masculine gender is straightforward inheritance from Latin grammar.
