Why is it masculine?
Ovo (egg) is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "ovum," which was a neuter noun, but Portuguese collapsed its neuter gender into the masculine category during the Romance language evolution. This phonetic and grammatical shift meant that neuter Latin words like "ovum" became masculine nouns in Portuguese, following the pattern of most inherited neuter terms in the language.
