Why is it feminine?

Etiqueta is feminine in Portuguese. While the word does derive from French "étiquette," the explanation of its femininity is unnecessarily complicated. In Portuguese, like other Romance languages, nouns ending in -a are typically feminine. The word "etiqueta" follows this productive and regular Portuguese morphological pattern, making it feminine through the standard -a feminine ending, not primarily through inheritance of French grammatical gender.
