Why is it masculine?

Gerentes is masculine because it derives from the Latin present participle "gerens" (managing/conducting). However, in modern Portuguese, "gerente" is actually a common gender noun (epicene), used with the same form for both masculine and feminine referents, with gender determined by the article or adjective (o gerente/a gerente). The masculine default reflects historical usage patterns, but the word itself is invariable and not inherently masculine.
