Why is it masculine?

Filhos (son) is masculine because it derives from Latin "filius," which was grammatically masculine in the Latin second declension, and Romance languages inherited this gender classification along with the word itself. The feminine form "filha" (daughter) comes from the Latin feminine "filia," showing how Latin's grammatical gender system persisted into Portuguese.
