Why is it masculine?
Pregador is masculine because it derives from the Latin "praedicator" (masculine noun), which comes from the verb "praedicare" (to preach); Portuguese inherited this grammatical gender through normal sound changes and Latin's masculine -or suffix pattern. However, in modern Portuguese, "pregador" primarily means "clothespin" (a device for hanging clothes), though it retains the historical meaning of "preacher." The word follows the standard Portuguese rule where -or endings typically indicate masculine nouns.
