Why is it masculine?

Servicios is masculine because it derives from the Latin noun "servitium," which belonged to the second declension (-ium neuter words). However, when Spanish evolved from Latin, many neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender, particularly those ending in -o. The word "servicio" inherited masculine gender through this regular sound change and gender shift (Latin -ium > Spanish -io becoming masculine).
