Why is it masculine?

Párpados is masculine. It derives from Latin "palpebra" (feminine), but the Spanish form evolved from the Latin diminutive "palpebram" → "párpado." The masculine gender in Spanish is likely due to the influence of the productive masculine diminutive suffix "-ado" (from Latin "-atum"), which attracted words with this ending toward masculine gender during the Romance language evolution.
