Why is it masculine?

Vestibular is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "vestibularis" (related to "vestibulum," an entrance hall), the word in Portuguese functions as a noun meaning "entrance exam" (particularly for university admission), not primarily as an adjective. The masculine gender is standard for Portuguese nouns and is not an exception but rather the default gender assignment for this noun form.
