Why is it masculine?
Cidadãos is masculine because it derives from Latin "civis" (citizen), an agent noun from "civitas" (city-state/citizenship). Portuguese inherited the masculine gender through the suffix "-ão", which evolved from the Latin masculine suffix "-one" (as in "civem" → "cidadão"). The feminine form "cidadã" is created by applying the standard feminine suffix "-ã" to maintain gender agreement.
