¿Por qué es masculino?
Algodão is masculine. While it does derive from Arabic "al-quṭn" (القطن) and entered Portuguese during the medieval period of Islamic influence on the Iberian Peninsula, the masculine gender in Portuguese is better explained by the word's phonetic form ending in "-ão", a productive masculine suffix in Portuguese, rather than by retention of Arabic grammatical gender. The suffix "-ão" became the standard way to form masculine nouns in Portuguese, and "algodão" fits this pattern.
