Why is it masculine?
Limón is masculine because it derives from Arabic "limūn," which was a masculine noun, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender when borrowing the word during the medieval period when Arabic significantly influenced Spanish vocabulary. Like most Spanish nouns ending in "-ón," it follows the pattern of being masculine, though this particular gender assignment was established through the Arabic source rather than by the standard Spanish suffix rule.
