Por que é masculine?

Hospital is masculine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "hospitāle" (neuter noun meaning "inn" or "lodging place"). In Portuguese and other Romance languages, the Latin neuter gender was largely lost, and neuter nouns were typically reanalyzed as either masculine or feminine based on their phonetic forms and analogical patterns. The -al ending in Portuguese typically signals masculine gender, which likely reinforced the masculine classification of this word during the language's development.
