Why is it masculine?

Patrimonios is masculine because it derives from Latin "patrimonium," which combined "pater" (father) and the suffix "-monium" (a noun-forming element), literally meaning "what comes from the father" or paternal inheritance. In Latin, "patrimonium" was a neuter noun, but when Romance languages evolved from Latin, many neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender. Spanish inherited "patrimonio" as masculine, following the general pattern of Latin neuter nouns becoming masculine in Spanish and other Romance languages.
