Why is it masculine?
Cimento is masculine because it derives from Latin "caementum" (neuter), but Portuguese inherited it through the masculine form that developed in Vulgar Latin and Romance languages, where -mentum nouns typically became masculine (-mento in Portuguese). This represents a regular sound change rather than an exception, as most Portuguese words ending in -mento are masculine.
