Why is it masculine?
Bolsista is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from "bolsa" (purse/scholarship) + the agent suffix "-ista." The "-ista" suffix is gender-invariant in Portuguese and does not change based on the gender of the base noun. Words ending in "-ista" are typically masculine by convention when referring to people, regardless of whether the base noun is feminine (as "bolsa" is). The suffix "-ista" comes from Latin "-ista" (ultimately from Greek), which was already established in forming agent nouns in Romance languages. Therefore, "bolsista" follows the standard masculine convention for "-ista" agent nouns.
