Why is it masculine?

Baldes is masculine in Portuguese. While the word does have Latin origins, the etymology from "balteus" (belt) to "bucket" is not well-established. The masculine gender is preserved from Latin, where many -us/-e ending nouns became masculine in Portuguese, but the specific semantic shift and etymological connection require verification. The gender itself is correctly identified as masculine.
