Why is it masculine?
Helicópteros is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Greek roots "helix" (spiral) and "pteron" (wing), the masculine gender assignment is primarily due to the masculine ending "-o" in Portuguese, which is the standard masculine singular ending for nouns. The word was borrowed into Portuguese in the early 20th century and automatically received masculine gender following the productive masculine noun pattern in Portuguese, similar to other -o ending nouns like "carro" (car) and "livro" (book).
