Why is it masculine?

Balanços is masculine because it derives from the Latin "bilanx" (meaning "balance" or "scale"), which was a masculine noun. The word underwent sound changes typical of Portuguese phonetic evolution, eventually developing the -ço ending. Like many Portuguese nouns, its gender was inherited directly from its Latin etymon. However, the -ço ending itself is not reliably indicative of gender in Portuguese, as both masculine and feminine nouns can have this ending.
