Why is it feminine?

Revista is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "revis(it)a," the past participle of "revidere" (to review), which followed the feminine -a ending pattern in Romance languages. This -a ending became the standard feminine marker in Portuguese, and "revista" retained this gender from its Latin origins.
