Why is it masculine?

Morangos (strawberry) is masculine in Portuguese. While its exact etymology is debated, it likely derives from Arabic or other Romance language influences rather than directly from Latin "morus." The masculine gender appears to be a historical anomaly, as most Portuguese fruit names are feminine (a, -ã endings), making "morango" an exception to modern semantic patterns where gender is often predictable based on noun endings and meaning.
