Why is it masculine?
Detergente is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "detergens" (present participle of "detergere," meaning to wipe away), the gender retention explanation is incomplete. In Portuguese, nouns ending in "-ente" are typically masculine regardless of their Latin origin. The word is masculine primarily because of the "-ente" suffix pattern in Portuguese, which has become conventionally masculine, rather than solely because of Latin gender preservation.
