Why is it masculine?

Conhecimento is masculine because it is formed with the Portuguese suffix "-mento" (from Latin "-mentum"), which consistently produces masculine nouns. The Latin "-mentum" suffix naturally carried masculine gender, a pattern preserved in Portuguese nouns like "pensamento" (thought) and "sentimento" (feeling). The word derives from the verb "conhecer" (to know).
