Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Colega is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "collega," which was grammatically masculine. A compound of "com-" (with) and "legere" (to choose or elect), it originally referred to a co-official in Roman administration. The masculine gender persisted through Portuguese despite the word's -a ending, which typically marks feminine nouns. In modern usage, "colega" can refer to colleagues of any gender, but the grammatical gender remains masculine.
