Perché è masculine?

Banco is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin, the word comes from "bancus" (a bench or counter), and its masculine gender was preserved through Romance language evolution. However, the -us ending explanation is incomplete: in Portuguese specifically, masculine nouns typically end in -o (the Latin -us ending evolved to -o in Portuguese), which is the actual reason "banco" appears masculine in modern Portuguese.
