Why is it masculine?
Ojo is masculine because it derives from Latin "oculus," which was a masculine noun (following the second declension -us ending), and Spanish retained this grammatical gender when the word evolved phonetically from "oculus" to "ojo." This is a regular sound change rather than an exception—most Spanish masculine nouns ending in -o descend from Latin masculine nouns ending in -us.
