Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Cruzes (cross) is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "crux, crucis," which was feminine in the third declension, and Portuguese inherited this grammatical gender along with the word itself. This Latin gender assignment has been preserved through the Romance languages despite the word's semantic reference to a physical object.
