Why is it masculine?

Pulsos is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "pulsus," a second-declension masculine noun meaning "beat" or "pulse." The -o ending in Portuguese masculine nouns directly reflects this Latin masculine inflection. In Portuguese, "pulso" means both "pulse" (as in heartbeat) and "wrist," and its masculine gender is consistent with its Latin masculine origin.
