Why is it masculine?
Cinema is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from the Greek "kinema" (κίνημα, meaning "movement"), which was adopted into Late Latin as a neuter noun. When Romance languages developed, many Latin neuter nouns were reinterpreted and assigned to the masculine gender, as the neuter gender was lost. This masculine gender was preserved in Portuguese. The word's -a ending is atypical for masculine nouns in Portuguese, making it an exception to the general rule that -a marks feminine nouns.
