Why is it masculine?

Remédios is masculine because it derives from Latin "remedium" (a neuter noun), which became masculine in Portuguese following the general sound changes that caused most Latin neuter nouns ending in -ium to shift to the masculine -o ending during the language's development. This gender shift reflects a broader pattern in Romance languages where Latin neuter forms were reanalyzed and absorbed into masculine or feminine classes.
