Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Centro is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "centrum," which was neuter in classical Latin but became masculine in Romance languages through sound changes and analogy with other masculine nouns ending in "-o." The shift reflects how Latin neuter nouns were gradually reclassified as masculine during the evolution into Portuguese and other Romance languages.
