Why is it masculine?

Yesos (plaster) is masculine because it derives from Latin "gypsum," which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Spanish inherited this gender assignment when the word evolved phonetically into "yeso." Like many Spanish nouns, its gender was determined by its Latin ancestor rather than following a productive modern rule.
