Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Astronautas is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from the Greek "astron" (star) + "nautes" (sailor). The word ending "-nauta" is a masculine noun suffix inherited through Latin and Portuguese, following the pattern of other -nauta words like "argonauta" (Argonaut). In Portuguese, words ending in -a are typically feminine, but -nauta words are exceptions that maintain masculine gender from their Greek origins due to their status as borrowed words and their association with the masculine agent noun form.
