Why is it masculine?
Serrotes is masculine because it derives from Latin "serrula," the diminutive of "serra" (saw). In Portuguese, the diminutive suffix "-ote" (from Latin "-ottus") is inherently masculine, which is why "serrote" is masculine despite deriving from the feminine word "serra." This represents a common pattern in Portuguese where diminutive forms can shift the gender of their base words, particularly with tool names and other nouns.
