Why is it masculine?
Libro is masculine because it derives from Latin "liber," which was masculine in the second declension, and Spanish retained this gender when the word evolved phonetically. The Latin masculine gender was preserved through the regular sound changes that transformed Latin into Romance languages, making it one of many words whose gender traces directly back to its Latin grammatical classification.
