Why is it masculine?

Paradigma is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "paradigma," borrowed from Greek "paradeigma" (παράδειγμα). In Latin, this word was treated as masculine (paradigma, -atis), and this masculine gender was retained in Portuguese and other Romance languages. Portuguese nouns ending in -ma are typically masculine (e.g., "problema," "sistema," "tema"), contrary to the misconception that they are neuter in origin.
