Perché è masculine?

Costumes (costume/hábito) is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "consuetudo" (habit, custom). However, "consuetudo" was feminine in Latin (third declension, -o nominative ending feminine nouns). The masculine gender in Portuguese likely resulted from semantic shift and analogy with other masculine nouns, or from influence of the related Latin "consuetus" (accustomed, masculine adjective) during the evolution to Portuguese.
