Why is it masculine?
Açúcares is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "saccharum" (neuter), which was borrowed from Arabic "al-sukkar". However, the explanation contains a critical error: Latin "saccharum" was actually treated as masculine in Late Latin and evolved into masculine forms in Romance languages including Portuguese. The word did not "retain" masculine assignment despite neuter origins—rather, it shifted from neuter to masculine in Late Latin before Portuguese evolved, and Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from this later Latin stage.
