Alívio is masculine because it derives from Latin "alleviāre" (to lighten), and Portuguese nouns ending in "-io" from Latin "-iō" are typically masculine by inheritance of the Latin masculine gender. This gender assignment reflects the grammatical inheritance from Latin rather than any semantic rule about the word's meaning.
