Why is it masculine?
Azeite is masculine because it derives from Arabic "az-zait" (the olive), and when Portuguese adopted this word, it retained the masculine gender of its Arabic source, where "zait" is grammatically masculine. This gender assignment became fixed in Portuguese despite the word's foreign origin, much like other Arabic loanwords that entered the language during the medieval period.
