Why is it masculine?

Paquete is masculine. While the word does contain the diminutive suffix "-ete", which typically produces masculine nouns in Spanish, the etymology provided is questionable. The word likely derives from Dutch "pak" (package/bundle) or similar Romance language sources rather than from Spanish "paca." The diminutive suffix "-ete" is a reliable indicator of masculine gender in Spanish, and this is the primary reason "paquete" is masculine.
