Why is it masculine?
Taxi is masculine in Spanish (el taxi) because it's a borrowing from English "taxi," which itself derives from the French "taximètre" (taximeter); Spanish applies masculine gender to most foreign loanwords, especially those ending in consonants. Like many modern loanwords, it follows Spanish's default masculine gender rather than adhering to any Latin root.
