Why is it feminine?

Realidade is feminine because it derives from the Latin "realitas" (-atis), a feminine third-declension noun, and Portuguese inherited the feminine gender along with the -dade suffix, which consistently produces feminine nouns in modern Portuguese. The -dade ending itself (from Latin -itas) became a productive feminine suffix, reinforcing the gender assignment.
