Why is it masculine?
Punto is masculine because it derives from the Latin "punctum" (neuter), which became masculine in Spanish following the regular sound changes of Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" that shifted to masculine "-o" endings in Romance languages. This gender shift occurred as Latin's neuter gender gradually collapsed and neuter nouns were redistributed into the masculine and feminine categories during the evolution into Spanish.
