¿Por qué es feminine?

Batatas is feminine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Tupi (an indigenous Brazilian language), the word referred to the plant itself rather than specifically being classified as "sweet potato" in the source language. The feminine gender in Portuguese is more likely due to the word ending in "-a", which is the most common feminine ending in Portuguese, rather than a direct preservation of gender from Tupi. Many Portuguese nouns ending in "-a" are feminine, and this morphological pattern may have reinforced or determined the gender assignment when the loanword was adopted.
