Why is it masculine?

Sutiã is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from French "soutien" (meaning "support"), and while it ends in the nasal vowel "-ã", its masculine gender is determined by its origin as a borrowed word that was integrated into Portuguese with masculine gender classification. This is an exception to the typical pattern where words ending in "-ã" are usually feminine, but the masculine assignment reflects how this particular loanword was adopted into the language.
