Knew that; Italian words are either masculine or feminine. Masculine words end in “O”’ in the singular and “I” in the plural. Spaghetto is the diminutive of spago, which means string or twine.

Yes, and again, another diminutive. Brocco means sprout or shoot and each of the buds is as you said, un (a) broccolo.
