Why is it masculine?

Tempos is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "tempus" (accusative "temporem"), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Portuguese retained this grammatical gender through regular sound changes and inflection patterns. The Latin root itself likely comes from Proto-Indo-European origins related to "cutting" or "dividing," reflecting time's division into periods.
