Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Capitães is masculine because it derives from Latin "capitaneus" (from "caput," meaning head), which was a masculine noun referring to a military leader or chief, and this grammatical gender was preserved in Portuguese. The word's association with leadership positions historically held by men may have reinforced its masculine classification, though the gender assignment ultimately follows from its Latin masculine declension.
