Why is it masculine?
Critério is masculine because it derives from Latin "criterium," which is a neuter noun in Latin, but Portuguese inherited it through Romance language evolution where many Latin neuter nouns were reassigned to the masculine gender (the default gender for many borrowed or abstract nouns). The word itself comes from Greek "kriterion" (κριτήριον), meaning "a means of judging."
