Why is it masculine?
Bueiros is masculine because it derives from Latin "puteus" (well/pit), which was a masculine noun, and Portuguese maintained the gender of its Latin ancestor through the regular sound changes that transformed Latin masculine nouns ending in "-us" into Portuguese masculine nouns ending in "-o". The word originally referred to a drainage well or pit before coming to mean sewer grate in modern Portuguese.
