Why is it masculine?

Carregador (porter/loader) is masculine because it derives from the Latin verb "carricare" (to load/carry), with the agent suffix "-dor" (one who does), which in Portuguese systematically produces masculine nouns—a pattern inherited from Latin where agent nouns in "-tor" were inherently masculine. This follows the same rule as other masculine agent nouns like "trabalhador" (worker) and "vendedor" (seller).
