Why is it masculine?

Cobertor is masculine because it derives from the Latin noun "coopertōrium" or "copertōrium" (a cover or covering), which retained its masculine gender through Portuguese phonetic evolution. While the "-tor" suffix does mark agent nouns as masculine in Portuguese, "cobertor" functions as a noun meaning "blanket" rather than "one who covers," and its gender is inherited from its Latin masculine nominal source.
