Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Capital is feminine in Portuguese (a capital) because it derives from Latin *capitālis*, which as a noun meaning "capital city" used the feminine form *[urbs] capitālis* (the capital city), with the feminine gender persisting through Romance language evolution. The adjective form also became grammaticalized as a noun in Portuguese, retaining the feminine gender from its Latin origins.
