Why is it feminine?
Gordura is feminine because it derives from Latin "gordus" (fat) combined with the feminine suffix "-ura," which regularly produces feminine nouns in Portuguese (similar to "ternura" from "terno" and "loucura" from "louco"). The "-ura" suffix, inherited from Latin, consistently assigns feminine gender to abstract nouns and qualities in Romance languages.
