In Portuguese, "professor" is masculine because it derives from the Latin "professorem" (accusative of "professor"), which was already grammatically masculine in Latin, following the Latin second declension pattern for agent nouns ending in -or. The feminine form "professora" was later created by applying the regular Portuguese feminine suffix -a to the masculine root.
