Why is it feminine?

Pias is feminine in Portuguese because it ends in -a, which is the standard feminine ending for nouns in Portuguese. The word comes from Latin "pia" (feminine), likely related to "pius" (pious/devout), though the connection to the sink meaning may derive from a different semantic development.
