Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Floresta is feminine because it ends in the productive feminine suffix "-a" in Portuguese. The word derives from Old French "forest" (itself from Latin "forestis", meaning "outside woods" or "uncultivated land"), which was used in medieval Latin with feminine gender. The feminine ending "-a" was applied when the word was adopted into Portuguese, following the regular pattern where words ending in "-a" are typically feminine in Portuguese.
