Why is it feminine?
Farinha is feminine because it derives from Latin "farina," which was feminine in gender, a pattern that Portuguese retained for most -a ending nouns inherited from Latin. The Latin term itself likely came from "far" (grain/spelt), and the feminine grammatical gender was preserved through the regular sound changes from Latin to Portuguese.
