Why is it masculine?
Misterio is masculine because it derives from Latin "mysterium," which was a neuter noun. When Romance languages evolved, many Latin neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender. In Spanish, this word adopted the masculine -o ending, which became the default masculine marker in the language. The -o ending strongly associates "misterio" with the masculine gender class.
