Why is it masculine?
Começo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "commeatus" (meaning passage or supply), which was a masculine noun. However, the more direct etymology is from the Latin verb "commentiāre" or related forms, which produced the Portuguese noun "começo" (beginning). Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from Latin, following the regular pattern where Latin masculine nouns became Portuguese masculine nouns ending in -o.
