Perché è feminine?

Cavernas is feminine because it derives from Latin "caverna," which was already feminine in Latin. The -a ending is a common feminine marker in Portuguese, and the word retained its feminine gender from Latin. The suffix -erna does not derive from a process of feminization of "cavus"; rather, "caverna" was an independent feminine noun in Latin meaning a hollow place or cave.
