Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Dilema is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "dilemma" (neuter), which came from Greek "dílemma." Portuguese borrowed this word and treats it as masculine, likely because the word was perceived as following the pattern of other masculine nouns ending in "-a" (such as "mapa," "planeta," "sistema") rather than the typical feminine "-a" words. This represents an exception to the general rule that words ending in "-a" are feminine in Portuguese.
