Why is it masculine?

Coração is masculine. The word derives from Latin "cor" (heart), a neuter noun. In Portuguese, the -ão suffix typically indicates masculine gender, and "coração" follows this pattern. The masculine gender was established during the Romance language evolution as Latin neuter nouns were reassigned to either masculine or feminine categories, with "coração" adopting masculine gender.
