Why is it masculine?
Corretivo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "correctivus," which inherited the masculine gender from its root "correctus" (past participle of "corrigere," meaning to correct), and Latin masculine adjectives ending in -ivus typically remained masculine when adapted into Portuguese. This gender was preserved despite Portuguese later developing a productive feminine form with -a, since "corretivo" retained its inherited Latin masculine form as a standalone adjective and noun.
