Why is it masculine?

Anúncio is masculine because it derives from the Latin "annuntiāre" (to announce), with the noun form "annuntiātio" (-ōnis, feminine in Latin). However, Portuguese borrowed or evolved this into the -io ending form, which became associated with masculine nouns in Portuguese and other Romance languages, despite the Latin feminine gender of the original noun form.
