Why is it masculine?

Alvará is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Arabic "al-barā'a" (the deed/permit), the masculine gender is not retained from Arabic grammatical gender but rather from the Portuguese masculine ending pattern and the word's integration into Portuguese morphology. The -á ending in Portuguese nouns does not automatically indicate gender, and this word's masculine classification is conventional in the language rather than a direct preservation of Arabic grammatical gender.
