Why is it feminine?
Imagem is feminine because it derives from Latin "imago, imaginis," which was a feminine noun in the third declension, and Portuguese retained this grammatical gender from its Latin ancestor. However, the feminine ending "-em" is not a productive gender marker in Portuguese; rather, the gender was preserved directly from Latin through sound changes. Many Latin third declension feminine nouns ending in "-o, -inis" developed into Portuguese words ending in "-em" while retaining their feminine gender.
