Why is it masculine?
Caldo is masculine because it derives from Latin "caldus" (warm/hot), which was a masculine adjective that also came to mean "broth" or "stock," and Spanish preserved the masculine gender of its Latin source. The noun form evolved from the adjective, retaining the -o masculine ending that developed from Latin masculine nominative endings.
