Why is it masculine?

Quartos is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "quartus" (fourth), the connection to the meaning "room" is indirect. In Medieval Latin, "quartus" was used in the phrase "quarta" (or "quartum") to refer to a quarter or fourth part of something, and this evolved to mean a room or chamber. The masculine gender was preserved from the Latin masculine form through this etymological development.
