Why is it feminine?

Relações is feminine because it derives from Latin "relatio" (nominative), which belonged to the third declension feminine nouns ending in "-tio" (like "natio," "ratio," "actio"), a pattern that consistently produced feminine nouns in Romance languages. This Latin feminine classification was preserved through Portuguese phonetic evolution, where "-tio" became "-ção," maintaining the feminine gender.
