Why is it masculine?
Médico is masculine because it derives from Latin "medicus," which was grammatically masculine in the second declension, and Spanish inherited this gender assignment when the word entered the language. The Latin root itself likely came from Greek "medikos" (related to "medeomai," meaning to heal), and Spanish maintained the masculine gender through regular sound changes and inflectional patterns.
