Why is it masculine?

Proceso is masculine because it derives from the Latin "processus" (from "procedere," meaning "to proceed"), which is a masculine noun in Latin, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender when inheriting the word. This follows the general pattern where Latin masculine nouns ending in -us typically become masculine nouns ending in -o in Spanish.
