Why is it masculine?

Barcos is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from Latin "barca" (a small boat or vessel), which came from Greek "baris." Despite the Latin feminine ending "-a," the word became masculine in Portuguese, likely due to semantic association with other masculine nouns or analogical leveling during the language's evolution. Portuguese masculine nouns commonly end in "-o," and "barco" follows this pattern.
