Why is it masculine?

Sorrisos is masculine because it derives from the Latin "subrisus" (a past participle of "subridere," meaning to smile), which retained the masculine gender of Latin second-declension nouns ending in -us when Portuguese evolved from Vulgar Latin. Like most Portuguese nouns ending in -o derived from Latin -us endings, it inherited masculine gender as a regular sound change and grammatical inheritance.
