Why is it masculine?

Frangos is masculine in Portuguese. While the word does derive from Latin, the etymological explanation provided is inaccurate. The word "frango" likely comes from Latin "frangere" (to break) or a related form, not from "francus." Regardless of its specific Latin origin, Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from Latin, and this gender persists in modern Portuguese.
