Perché è feminine?

Fronteiras is feminine because it ends in "-eira", a productive feminine suffix in Portuguese. This suffix derives from Latin "-aria", which consistently produced feminine nouns. The word comes from Latin "frontaria" (frontier/border), itself derived from "frons" (front/forehead). The feminine gender was maintained through the regular sound changes from Latin "-aria" to Portuguese "-eira".
