Why is it masculine?
Sapos (frog) is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "sapō," the gender is actually retained through the regular phonetic evolution of Latin masculine nouns ending in -ō (which typically became -o in Portuguese masculine nouns). However, "sapō" in Latin primarily referred to a toad or a type of plant, not specifically a frog in the modern sense. The masculine gender is correctly maintained, but the etymological explanation conflates the Latin meaning with the modern Portuguese meaning.
