Why is it masculine?

Título is masculine because it derives from Latin "titulus," which was masculine in gender, and Spanish retained that grammatical gender through regular sound changes (Latin -us endings typically became masculine -o in Spanish). The word originally referred to an inscription or label on an object, and this semantic and grammatical form persisted through the Romance language evolution.
