Why is it masculine?
Copo (glass/cup) is masculine because it derives from Latin "cuppum," which was a neuter noun. However, in the evolution from Latin to Portuguese, many neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender, particularly those ending in -um in Latin. "Copo" follows this pattern of neuter-to-masculine gender shift that occurred during the Romance language development, making it naturally masculine in modern Portuguese.
