Why is it masculine?

Método is masculine because it derives from Latin "methodus," which was itself borrowed from Greek "methodos" (μέθοδος). In Latin, this noun belonged to the first declension and was feminine in gender. However, when the word entered Spanish, it underwent a gender shift to masculine, likely influenced by the Spanish masculine ending "-o" and analogy with other masculine nouns ending in "-o."
