Why is it masculine?
Padres is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "sacerdos" (priest) or "pater" (father), both of which are masculine nouns. In Portuguese, "padre" specifically means "priest" (a religious figure) rather than "father" in the familial sense. The word is masculine in gender, which was inherited from its Latin source. The -e ending in Portuguese doesn't determine gender; rather, gender is largely inherited from the Latin source word's original classification.
