Why is it masculine?
Semáforos is masculine because it derives from Greek "sema" (sign) + "phoros" (bearer/carrier), and the Spanish word inherited the masculine gender from Latin "semaphorus," which treated compound words ending in "-phorus" as masculine nouns. Like many technical terms borrowed through Latin from Greek, it naturally took masculine gender as the default for such formations.
