Why is it masculine?

Jantares is masculine. While it is true that most Portuguese nouns ending in "-ar" are masculine, the etymology provided is questionable. The connection to Latin "ieiunare" (to fast) is not well-established in standard etymological references. "Jantar" likely derives from Latin "ientaculum" (breakfast/early meal) or related sources, though the exact path is debated. Regardless of etymology, "jantar" is masculine primarily because it follows the productive pattern of Portuguese masculine nouns ending in "-ar."
