Why is it masculine?
Mundo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "mundus," which was a masculine noun (likely from Etruscan origin), and Spanish maintained the gender of its Latin predecessors through regular phonetic evolution. Gender in Romance languages is largely inherited from Latin rather than following predictable rules, making "mundo" an example of this historical continuity rather than an exception.
