Pourquoi est-ce masculin ?
Caiaques is masculine in Portuguese because it is a borrowing from Tupi "kaia'ka" or similar forms (referring to a type of canoe or small boat). In Portuguese, this word was assimilated as a masculine noun. While the word ends in -e, the masculine gender is not explained by analogy to "cais" (which is a different etymological category), but rather reflects the gender assignment that occurred during borrowing. Many Tupi loanwords in Portuguese were assigned masculine gender, and "caiaque" follows this pattern for indigenous borrowings.
