Why is it masculine?
Compassos is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "compassus," related to "compassare" (to measure out or pace off), which is a masculine second-declension noun ending in -us. Portuguese inherited this masculine gender, as most nouns descended from Latin masculine -us forms became masculine in Portuguese (e.g., "livro" from "liber", "caso" from "casus"). The word refers to a drafting tool with two pointed legs used for drawing circles and arcs.
