Perché è masculine?

Envelopes (o envelope) is masculine in Portuguese because it is a direct borrowing from French "enveloppe." In French, "enveloppe" is feminine, but when borrowed into Portuguese, it retained masculine gender, likely because Portuguese speakers associated it with other masculine nouns or the borrowing process resulted in masculine gender assignment. This is an exception to the general pattern that most Portuguese nouns ending in "-e" are feminine.
