Why is it feminine?
Fábrica is feminine because it derives from Latin "fabrica," which was feminine in gender, and Portuguese retained this grammatical classification from its Romance language roots. The Latin word itself comes from "faber" (craftsman/smith), and the feminine form "fabrica" referred to a workshop or craft, a gender assignment that persisted through the evolution into Portuguese.
