Why is it masculine?

Sábados is masculine because it derives from Latin "sabbatum," which was borrowed from Hebrew "shabbat." In Latin, "sabbatum" was a second-declension neuter noun, but in the evolution from Latin to Spanish, neuter nouns were largely absorbed into the masculine gender class, which is why "sábado" is masculine in modern Spanish. This masculine gender has persisted alongside other Spanish day names.
