Why is it masculine?
Enchufe is masculine. The word is a noun (not derived from a verb form) meaning "plug" or "outlet." It ends in -e, and while Spanish nouns ending in -e can be either masculine or feminine, "enchufe" is masculine by convention. The etymology relating it to "chufe" or "chufeta" is not well-established; the word likely derives from the verb "enchufar" (to plug in), but the gender is simply an inherent property of this particular noun rather than a systematic rule about verb-derived nouns or the -e ending.
