Perché è feminine?

Cores (color) is feminine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "color" (nominative masculine), but the feminine gender in Portuguese comes from the regular sound changes applied to the accusative form "colorem" during the evolution from Latin to Portuguese. The -em ending of the accusative typically became -o in Portuguese, and the word underwent gender reassignment to feminine, possibly influenced by the feminine gender of related words or analogical pressure from other noun patterns in Portuguese.
