Perché è masculine?

Méritos is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "meritum" (a neuter past participle of "mereri," meaning to deserve). In the evolution from Latin to Portuguese and other Romance languages, neuter nouns were typically reassigned to either masculine or feminine gender. "Meritum" was reassigned to the masculine gender, and Portuguese inherited this masculine classification. The modern Portuguese noun "mérito" maintains this masculine gender, reinforced by the productive masculine suffix "-o" that characterizes many Portuguese masculine nouns.
