Why is it feminine?
Decisão is feminine because it derives from Latin "decisio" (nominative form), which was a third-declension feminine noun. In Portuguese, nouns ending in "-ão" that derive from Latin third-declension nouns (particularly those from "-sio") typically maintain feminine gender as a historical inheritance. However, it should be noted that not all Portuguese "-ão" nouns are feminine; many are masculine, making this a historical rather than a purely morphological rule.
