Why is it masculine?
Mares (sea) is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "mare," which was a neuter noun in classical Latin but became masculine in Romance languages as neuter gender collapsed and neuter nouns were absorbed into the masculine gender category during the evolution from Latin to Portuguese. This gender shift is a regular pattern seen across Romance languages rather than an exception.
