Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Velas is feminine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "vela" (plural of "velum", meaning sail), the etymology explanation is incomplete. In Portuguese, "vela" has two primary meanings: "candle" and "sail." The feminine gender is standard for this word in both senses. The transformation from Latin neuter plural to Portuguese feminine singular is a documented pattern in Romance language evolution, where many Latin neuter plurals were reanalyzed as feminine singulars in Portuguese and other Romance languages.
