Why is it masculine?

Estilos is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "stilus" (a pointed writing instrument), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Portuguese retained this grammatical gender through regular sound changes and inheritance patterns. The word's gender was preserved as the language evolved from Vulgar Latin, similar to how other Latin masculine nouns ending in "-us" became Portuguese masculine nouns ending in "-o."
