Por que é masculine?

Programas is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "programma," which came from Greek "prógramma" (from "pro-" meaning before, and "gráphein" meaning to write). In Latin, "programma" was a neuter noun (not masculine as the original rule states), but when adopted into Portuguese and other Romance languages, it was reanalyzed as masculine. This reanalysis occurred because Portuguese speakers associated the -a ending with the masculine -a ending found in some masculine nouns (like "poeta," "sistema," "problema"), rather than with the typical feminine -a ending. This gender assignment became fossilized in Portuguese.
