Why is it masculine?
Primo is masculine because it ends in -o, which is the standard masculine singular ending in Spanish. While it does derive from Latin "primus," the word's meaning in Spanish (cousin) developed from the Latin sense of "first" or "first relative," and it inherited the masculine gender from Latin's gender system. The -o ending reinforces and maintains this masculine gender in modern Spanish.
