Why is it masculine?

Sabor (taste/flavor) is masculine in Portuguese because it descends from the Latin masculine noun "saporem" (accusative of "sapor"), which retained its masculine gender through Romance language evolution. Latin nouns ending in "-or" were typically masculine, a gender distinction that Portuguese preserved for this word.
