Why is it masculine?

Sentido is masculine because it derives from the Latin "sensatus" or more directly from "sensus" (past participle of "sentire," meaning to feel or perceive). The Latin masculine form "sensus" (-us ending) regularly evolved into the Portuguese masculine -o ending. Like most Portuguese nouns ending in -o, it retained the masculine gender from its Latin masculine form.
