Why is it masculine?
Cartões is masculine. It derives from Latin "charta" (feminine, meaning "paper"). In Portuguese, the suffix "-ão" is typically a masculine diminutive/augmentative suffix that produces masculine nouns. When applied to "carta" (the Portuguese form of charta), it creates "cartão" (card), which inherits the masculine gender from the "-ão" suffix rather than from the feminine Latin root.
