Why is it masculine?
Fogão is masculine because it derives from Latin "focārium" (related to "focus," meaning hearth/fire). Latin nouns ending in "-ārium" were typically neuter in Classical Latin, but this suffix became productive in forming masculine nouns in Portuguese and other Romance languages. The word literally refers to a "place of fire," and the masculine gender became standard in Portuguese through regular sound changes and analogical leveling during the language's evolution from Vulgar Latin.
