Why is it masculine?

Acordes is masculine in Portuguese, meaning "chord" (a musical term). It derives from the Latin "accordum," which became "acorde" in Portuguese. The word's gender follows the pattern where Latin neuter nouns typically shifted to masculine in Portuguese and other Romance languages. However, "acorde" is distinct from "acordo" (agreement), which is a different word with the same Latin root but different semantic development.
