Why is it masculine?

Objetivo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "obiectivus," which inherited the masculine gender from its Latin masculine adjective form. In Spanish, adjectives ending in "-ivo" are typically masculine in their singular form (with the feminine form being "-iva"). The word functions as both an adjective (objective, impartial) and a noun (objective, goal), and in both cases retains the masculine gender inherited from its Latin source.
