Why is it masculine?

Paquetes 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."
