Why is it masculine?
Salario is masculine because it derives from the Latin "salarium," which was a neuter noun in Latin. However, in Spanish, the word became masculine, likely due to the influence of the masculine ending "-o" and analogy with other masculine nouns. The etymology connecting it to "sal" (salt) and Roman salt rations is correct, but the claim that Latin "salarium" was "treated as masculine" is inaccurate—it was genuinely neuter in Latin.
