Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Funcionários is masculine because it derives from the Latin "functionarius" (a person performing a function or duty), which inherited the masculine gender from Latin's "-arius" suffix that typically denoted male agents or occupants of roles. This Latin origin explains why the Portuguese word retained masculine gender, though modern usage increasingly extends it to people of any gender in practice.
