Why is it masculine?
Esportes is masculine. While it does derive from Old French "desport" (masculine), the gender assignment in Portuguese is better explained by the pattern that most Portuguese nouns ending in "-e" are masculine, particularly those inherited from Romance languages. The etymology through Latin "deportāre" is plausible, but the key factor in Portuguese gender classification is the -e ending itself, which strongly correlates with masculine gender in this language, rather than simply inheriting gender from French ancestors.
