Why is it masculine?

Sindicato is masculine because it derives from the Latin "syndicatus," the past participle of "syndicare," which inherited the masculine gender of Latin nouns ending in -atus (like "magistratus"). This gender persisted when the word evolved into Spanish, following the typical pattern where Latin -atus words became masculine -ato nouns in Romance languages.
