¿Por qué es masculine?
Orelhão is masculine because it derives from "orelha" (ear, feminine) using the suffix "-ão," which is a productive masculine suffix in Portuguese. While "-ão" can function as an augmentative (enlargement) rather than a true diminutive, it consistently produces masculine nouns regardless of the gender of the base word. This pattern is seen in other examples like "porta" (feminine) → "portão" (masculine gate) and "caixa" (feminine) → "caixão" (masculine coffin). The suffix "-ão" derives from Latin "-one" and has become standardly masculine in Portuguese gender assignment.
