Why is it feminine?

Permissão is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "permissio," which belongs to the third declension (-io nouns). In Portuguese, nouns ending in "-ão" that derive from Latin third-declension feminine nouns (particularly those ending in "-io" or "-ão") retain their feminine gender. This is a productive pattern in Portuguese where "-ão" endings typically mark feminine nouns when they originate from these Latin sources.
