Why is it feminine?
Madeira is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "materia" (feminine), which originally meant "wood" or "matter," and Portuguese retained the feminine gender of its Latin ancestor. The word's gender is therefore a direct inheritance from Latin's grammatical system rather than following a productive modern rule.
