Why is it feminine?
Folha is feminine because it derives from Latin "folia," the neuter plural of "folium" (leaf), which became reanalyzed as a feminine singular noun in Portuguese and other Romance languages as the Latin neuter gender collapsed. This grammatical shift occurred because the -a ending, inherited from Latin feminine forms, made speakers reinterpret the word as feminine.
