Why is it masculine?
Relógios derives from Latin "horologium," which comes from Greek "horologion" (hora + logos, meaning "time-teller"). In Latin, "horologium" was actually masculine (not neuter), and Portuguese inherited this masculine gender. The -o ending in Portuguese typically marks masculine nouns, which reinforces the gender assignment inherited from Latin.
