Why is it masculine?
Peso is masculine because it derives from Latin "pensum" (a weighed amount), which was neuter in Latin but became masculine when adopted into Spanish's two-gender system, likely influenced by the masculine ending -o that developed in Romance languages. This is ultimately an exception to predictable gender rules, as Latin neuter nouns didn't follow a consistent pattern when Romance languages simplified to two genders.
