Why is it feminine?
Paz is feminine because it derives from Latin "pāx, pācis," which was a third-declension feminine noun, and Portuguese retained this grammatical gender through sound changes that obscured the Latin case endings. The -z ending in modern Portuguese is a reflex of the Latin nominative/accusative -x, preserving the original feminine classification from Latin.
