¿Por qué es masculine?

Oxigênio is masculine. The word derives from French "oxygène," which was coined in the late 18th century from Greek roots: "oxys" (sharp/acid) and "gennao" (to produce). French assigned masculine gender to "oxygène," and Portuguese inherited this gender when adopting the scientific term. In Portuguese, nouns ending in "-ênio" are typically masculine, which reinforced this gender assignment.
