Why is it masculine?

Pasillo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "passus" (step, passage), which is a masculine noun. Spanish retained the masculine gender from its Latin ancestor. The word "pasillo" developed from "pasillo" (a diminutive form meaning "little passage"), and the diminutive suffix "-illo" typically preserves the gender of the base noun, maintaining the masculine gender.
