Why is it masculine?
Presente is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "praesens," the word evolved into a noun meaning "gift" rather than retaining its adjectival function. In Portuguese, this noun is masculine, likely due to the influence of the underlying Latin masculine form, though the -e ending itself is not a reliable gender indicator in Portuguese (as both masculine and feminine nouns can end in -e). The masculine gender was preserved through the evolution from Latin to Portuguese.
