Why is it feminine?

Áreas is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "area," which was feminine in gender, a pattern preserved in Romance languages where many Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a" remained feminine. The Latin root itself likely came from Etruscan or another source, but the feminine classification has been maintained through the natural evolution of the language.
