Why is it masculine?

Diagnóstico is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Greek "diagnōstikos" (διαγνωστικός) through Latin, the primary reason for its masculine gender is that Portuguese nouns ending in "-o" are typically masculine. This regular morphological pattern is the most straightforward explanation for the gender, and is more accurate than attributing it primarily to historical Greek/Latin gender retention, since the "-o" ending itself is a strong gender marker in Portuguese.
