Why is it masculine?

Detalhe is masculine because it derives from the French "détail," which comes from Old French "de-" (from) + "tailler" (to cut), ultimately rooted in Latin "taliare" (to cut). The French noun "détail" is masculine, and Portuguese inherited both the word and its gender when it entered the language during the 16th-17th centuries.
