Why is it masculine?

Apartamento is masculine because it contains the suffix "-mento," which consistently produces masculine nouns in Portuguese. This suffix derives from Latin "-mentum," which was inherently masculine. The word comes from the Latin "apartus" (separated), and the "-mento" suffix transforms it into a noun meaning "the act or result of separating" or "separated space." All nouns ending in "-mento" in Portuguese are masculine.
