Why is it masculine?

Comandos is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from the Latin "commandum," which is the past participle of "commandāre" (to command). In Latin, this form followed the second declension pattern typical of masculine nouns. During the evolution from Latin to Portuguese and other Romance languages, many Latin masculine nouns ending in -um were reanalyzed and retained their masculine gender, which is reflected in modern Portuguese "comando."
