Why is it masculine?
Moletom is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from English "molleton" (a cotton fabric), the gender assignment is primarily due to Portuguese gender assignment rules for foreign loanwords ending in consonants, which are typically treated as masculine. However, the etymology connecting it specifically to English "molleton" is uncertain; the word may have entered Portuguese through French "molleton" or other Romance language intermediaries. The masculine gender follows the general pattern for consonant-final loanwords in Portuguese.
