Why is it feminine?

Camisas is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Late Latin *camisia, which was already feminine in gender, and this gender was preserved as the word evolved through Old Portuguese into modern Portuguese. The Latin root itself likely came from Germanic languages (related to Old High German *hemidi, meaning shirt/tunic), but it adopted feminine gender in Latin, possibly due to association with other feminine clothing terms or semantic influence from similar words.
