Why is it masculine?
Vento is masculine in Portuguese because it descends from Latin "ventus," which was grammatically masculine, and Portuguese maintained this gender assignment when the word evolved through regular sound changes (the Latin nominative ending -us typically became -o in Portuguese masculine nouns).
