Why is it feminine?
Régua is feminine because it derives from the Latin "regula" (feminine noun meaning "rule" or "straight edge"), which passed into Portuguese as a feminine noun and retained its grammatical gender through regular sound changes like the loss of the final -a becoming the Portuguese feminine ending. This is a regular development rather than an exception, as Latin feminine nouns ending in -a typically became feminine nouns in Portuguese.
