Why is it masculine?

Sobres (meaning "envelope" or "over") is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "supra" (an adverb/preposition meaning "above" or "over"), the masculine gender is not inherited from "supra" itself, but rather from the noun "sobre" developing as a masculine noun in Spanish, likely influenced by the masculine articles and adjectives that typically accompany it in usage patterns.
