Perché è masculine?

Café is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from Arabic "qahwa" through French "café," entering Portuguese via trade and cultural contact. In Portuguese, the word adopted the masculine gender, though the explanation for why specifically masculine is complex—it may relate to how the word was borrowed and integrated into Portuguese noun patterns, but the claim about "masculine gender patterns typical of words borrowed from Arabic" is overstated, as Arabic loanwords in Portuguese do not consistently follow a single gender pattern.
