Why is it masculine?

Braços is masculine because it derives from Latin "bracchium," which was masculine in gender, and Portuguese inherited this grammatical classification through regular sound changes from Vulgar Latin. The word ultimately traces back to Greek "brachion" (βραχίων), also masculine, reflecting the ancient Indo-European gender system where body parts often took masculine gender.
