Why is it masculine?

Precio is masculine because it derives from Latin "pretium," which was a neuter noun, but when Romance languages evolved, many Latin neuter nouns shifted to the masculine gender, and Spanish assigned "pretium/precio" to the masculine category. This gender shift was a common pattern across Romance languages as the neuter gender collapsed during the transition from Latin to the modern Romance languages.
