Why is it masculine?
Padre is masculine because it derives from Latin "pater" (father), which carried masculine grammatical gender in Latin's three-gender system. Spanish inherited both the word and its gender when Romance languages evolved from Latin. While Spanish has many masculine nouns ending in "-e" (such as "coche", "árabe", "jefe"), gender in Spanish is ultimately determined by etymological inheritance from Latin rather than by ending patterns alone.
