¿Por qué es masculine?

Telefones is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from Greek "tele-" (far) + "phōnē" (sound/voice), and was adopted into Portuguese in the 19th century. In Portuguese, words ending in "-one" (particularly those derived from Greek technical terms) typically follow masculine gender patterns.
