Why is it masculine?

Bolsos is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from Latin "bursa" (feminine, meaning "purse" or "bag"), which evolved into "bolsa" (feminine) in Portuguese, maintaining the feminine gender. "Bolso" is the masculine form meaning "pocket," derived from the same Latin root but with the masculine -o ending, used to distinguish the pocket sense from the bag/purse sense. The masculine gender is directly associated with the -o ending, which is the standard masculine singular marker in Portuguese.
