Why is it masculine?
Rocíos is feminine because it derives from the Latin "ros, roris" (dew), which is a masculine third-declension noun. However, the accusative form "rosium" evolved into the Spanish feminine noun "rocío" through regular sound changes. Spanish reassigned the gender to feminine, likely influenced by the -ío ending which became associated with feminine nouns in Spanish, or through analogy with other feminine nouns.
