Why is it masculine?

Recados is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "recatum," related to the verb "recare" (to carry/convey). The word inherited masculine gender through the regular sound change of Latin neuter -um endings becoming masculine -o in Portuguese. This pattern is typical for Portuguese nouns derived from Latin neuter past participles, which took on masculine gender in the Romance language evolution.
