Why is it masculine?
Laboratório is masculine. It derives from Latin "laboratorium" (a noun meaning "workshop" or "place of work"), which is a neuter noun ending in "-orium". In the transition from Latin to Portuguese and other Romance languages, these neuter "-orium" endings were reinterpreted as masculine and became the Portuguese "-ório" suffix. Portuguese nouns ending in "-ório" are typically masculine, following this historical pattern of gender reassignment during the Romance language evolution.
