Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Sapos (frog) is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "sapō," the gender is actually retained through the regular phonetic evolution of Latin masculine nouns ending in -ō (which typically became -o in Portuguese masculine nouns). However, "sapō" in Latin primarily referred to a toad or a type of plant, not specifically a frog in the modern sense. The masculine gender is correctly maintained, but the etymological explanation conflates the Latin meaning with the modern Portuguese meaning.
