Why is it masculine?
Milhos is masculine because it derives from Latin "milium" (millet), which was a masculine noun in the second declension, and Portuguese inherited this grammatical gender through sound changes that preserved the masculine article system. The word eventually came to refer to corn/maize rather than millet, but retained the original Latin masculine gender.
