Why is it masculine?
Artista in Portuguese is a noun meaning "artist" that can be either masculine or feminine depending on the person's sex. In modern Portuguese, it is used as a common gender noun (epiceno or comum de dois gêneros): "o artista" (male artist) and "a artista" (female artist). The word derives from Latin "artista," but contrary to the generated rule, it does not "conventionally default to masculine." The -ista suffix in Portuguese typically creates words that are morphologically invariable but grammatically gendered according to the article and adjectives used with them, varying based on the referent's sex rather than having an inherent fixed gender.
