Why is it feminine?
Palavras is feminine because it derives from Latin "parabola" (itself from Greek "parabolē"), which was a feminine noun in Latin, and Portuguese retained this grammatical gender through regular sound changes (Latin -a endings typically remain feminine in Portuguese). The word's femininity is thus a direct inheritance from its Latin ancestor rather than following a productive modern rule.
