Why is it masculine?
Calçadões is masculine because it derives from "calçada" (feminine, meaning "paved street") plus the augmentative suffix "-ão," which is inherently masculine in Portuguese and typically denotes larger or more emphatic versions of nouns. The "-ão" suffix overrides the gender of the base noun, so despite coming from a feminine root (ultimately from Latin "calceāta"), the augmented form becomes masculine.
