Why is it masculine?

Recuerdo is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "recordari" (to remember), the gender is better explained by the word's form as a noun derived from the past participle "recordado." In Spanish, abstract nouns formed from verbs typically default to masculine gender. Additionally, nouns ending in "-o" in Spanish are predominantly masculine, which reinforces this classification.
