Why is it masculine?
Ensaio is masculine. It derives from the Latin "exagium" (a weighing or trial), which was neuter in Latin. However, Portuguese inherited the masculine gender through Old Portuguese phonetic evolution and Romance language gender patterns. The "-io" ending in Portuguese typically indicates masculine gender, and "ensaio" follows this pattern consistently in Modern Portuguese.
