Why is it masculine?
Ambiente is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "ambiens" (nominative) / "ambientis" (genitive), the present participle of "ambire" (to go around). In Latin, this word functioned as a noun meaning "surroundings" or "environment" and inherited masculine gender from the third declension pattern. Portuguese preserved this masculine gender through regular phonetic evolution from Latin to modern Portuguese, where Latin nominative forms ending in consonants typically maintained their gender.
