Why is it masculine?

Diplomas is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "diploma" (neuter), but Portuguese reassigned it to the masculine gender, likely influenced by the masculine ending pattern of many Portuguese nouns and the tendency to masculinize Latin neuter nouns that entered the language. This gender shift reflects a common phonetic and morphological pattern in Romance language evolution from Latin's three-gender system to Portuguese's two-gender system.
