¿Por qué es feminine?

Medalha is feminine because it derives from the Latin "metallum" (metal) via Old French "medaille," and the feminine form became standard in Portuguese, likely reinforced by the suffix "-a" which typically marks feminine nouns in Romance languages. The word's gender solidified through usage rather than following a strict etymological rule, making it essentially a grammatical convention inherited from French and Latin traditions.
