Why is it masculine?
Níveis is masculine because it derives from the Latin "libella" (a small balance or level tool), which was feminine in Latin. However, in Portuguese, the word evolved to "nível" and acquired masculine gender, likely due to the productive masculine gender pattern for Portuguese words ending in -el (such as "papel", "hotel", "mel"). The -el ending strongly attracts masculine gender assignment in Portuguese, which overrode the original Latin feminine gender.
