Perché è masculine?

Esportes is masculine. While it does derive from Old French "desport" (masculine), the gender assignment in Portuguese is better explained by the pattern that most Portuguese nouns ending in "-e" are masculine, particularly those inherited from Romance languages. The etymology through Latin "deportāre" is plausible, but the key factor in Portuguese gender classification is the -e ending itself, which strongly correlates with masculine gender in this language, rather than simply inheriting gender from French ancestors.
