Why is it masculine?
Cachecóis is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from the French "cache-col" (literally "neck-hider"), the masculine gender is primarily maintained because the word functions as a compound noun in Portuguese and loanwords from French generally retain their source language gender. However, the gender is more directly attributable to Portuguese phonetic patterns where words ending in -ol are typically masculine, making this a case where both etymological retention and phonetic patterns align.
