Why is it feminine?
Tomada is feminine because it functions as a noun (meaning "outlet" or "socket") that has inherited the feminine gender from its origin as a past participle form of the verb "tomar" (to take). In Portuguese, many past participles have grammaticalized into nouns while retaining their original gender marking. The -a ending indicates feminine gender, following the pattern of Latin feminine forms. While the word originated as "tomada" (feminine past participle of "tomar"), it is now primarily used as a standalone feminine noun meaning "electrical outlet," not as a variable adjective.
