Why is it feminine?
Brisa is feminine in Portuguese. The word is correctly identified as a noun meaning "breeze." Its femininity follows the standard Portuguese pattern where nouns ending in "-a" are typically feminine. While the word does have Germanic origins (likely from Old Norse "brīsa"), the claim that it was a Latin word "brisa" is questionable—Latin sources do not clearly document this form. Regardless of its ultimate etymological source, the word's feminine gender in Portuguese is best explained by its "-a" ending, which is the primary indicator of feminine gender in Portuguese nouns.
