Why is it feminine?
Necessidade is feminine because it derives from Latin "necessitas" (-atis), a third-declension feminine noun, and Portuguese inherited the feminine gender from this Latin feminine form. The Latin suffix "-itas" regularly produced feminine nouns in Romance languages, which is why Portuguese nouns ending in "-dade" (the evolved form of "-itate") are predominantly feminine.
