Why is it masculine?
Arquivos is masculine because it derives from Latin "archivum," which inherited the neuter gender from Greek "archeion" (ἀρχεῖον), but neuter Latin nouns ending in -ium typically became masculine in Romance languages like Portuguese. The word literally meant a place where official documents or records were kept, from the Greek root "arche" (ἀρχή), meaning "government" or "authority."
