Why is it feminine?
Gravata is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from the French "cravate," which came from Croatian soldiers ("Croats") serving in the French court in the 17th century. The garment inherited the feminine gender from the French noun. However, the gender in Portuguese is better explained by the word's ending in "-a," which is the standard feminine ending in Portuguese, rather than by a specific French pattern of "-ate" endings being feminine.
