Why is it masculine?

Mueble is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "mobilis" (movable), Spanish gender assignment doesn't simply retain Latin gender mechanistically. The word is masculine in Spanish, but this is better explained as following the pattern of Spanish masculine nouns, particularly those ending in -le. The etymological connection to Latin is accurate, but the mechanism of gender retention through "grammaticalization" is not the clearest or most accurate explanation for why this specific word is masculine in modern Spanish.
