Why is it masculine?
Sucesso is masculine because it descends from the Latin noun "successus" (masculine), which comes from the past participle "successus" of the verb "succedere" (to go under, follow, or turn out well). Latin nouns ending in "-us" were typically masculine, and Portuguese preserved this gender when the word entered the language.
