Why is it masculine?
Pêssegos is masculine because it derives from Latin "persicum" (the neuter adjective meaning "Persian"), which became a masculine noun in Portuguese following the general Romance language pattern where Latin neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender. The fruit was named after its Persian origin, and this etymological path accounts for its masculine gender in modern Portuguese.
