Why is it feminine?
Atenção is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "attentio" (from "attendere," to attend), which belonged to the third declension feminine class and retained its feminine gender when evolving into Portuguese. This gender was preserved through the regular sound changes that transformed Latin "-tio" endings into Portuguese "-ção" endings, which consistently produce feminine nouns.
