Why is it masculine?
Punho (fist/cuff) is masculine because it derives from Latin "pugnus," which was grammatically masculine, and Portuguese retained this gender assignment through regular sound changes ("pugnus" > "punho"). Like most Portuguese nouns ending in -o, its gender was inherited directly from its Latin ancestor rather than determined by any modern morphological rule.
