Why is it masculine?

Sangues is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "sanguis" (masculine), which itself likely comes from Proto-Indo-European roots related to blood—the gender was preserved through the regular phonetic evolution from Latin to Portuguese. Like many Portuguese nouns ending in "-ue," it retained the masculine gender of its Latin ancestor despite the final vowel pattern that might otherwise suggest femininity in modern Portuguese.
