Why is it feminine?

Cabeças is feminine because it derives from Latin "caput" (head), which evolved through Vulgar Latin into the feminine form "cabeça" in Portuguese. The feminine gender was established through the regular phonetic evolution of Latin words ending in -a, which became the standard feminine marker in Portuguese and other Romance languages. This follows the systematic rule that Portuguese nouns ending in -a are typically feminine.
