Why is it masculine?

Azuis is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Arabic (likely from "al-azul" meaning "the blue"), the gender classification in Portuguese follows standard patterns for adjectives ending in "-ul": adjectives with this ending are typically masculine in form, though "azul" functions as an invariable adjective (same form for masculine and feminine nouns: "o livro azul", "a casa azul"). The masculine designation reflects its etymological origin and Portuguese phonological patterns rather than a persistence of Arabic grammatical gender.
