Why is it masculine?
Fígados is masculine. It derives from Latin "ficatum" (literally "made of figs," from "ficus"), which referred to fattened liver as food. While the etymology is correct, the gender assignment is better explained by the natural phonetic evolution and gender patterns in Portuguese rather than by invoking a Latin neuter-to-masculine conversion, as Latin "ficatum" was actually an accusative form that functioned as masculine in Vulgar Latin before becoming Portuguese "fígado."
