Why is it masculine?
Nariz is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "nāris" (nostril), which was feminine in Latin. However, the masculine form "nāsus" (nose) also existed in Latin and influenced Portuguese. The word evolved into Portuguese with the masculine gender, reinforced by the productive masculine suffix "-iz" (from Latin "-ix"). While many body parts in Portuguese are feminine, "nariz" maintained or adopted masculine gender through the influence of the Latin masculine "nāsus" and the masculine phonetic pattern of "-iz" words.
