Why is it feminine?

Trilha is feminine because it ends in "-a", which is a typical feminine marker in Portuguese. The word derives from Latin "tricula" (a threshing sledge), which was a feminine noun in Latin. Portuguese inherited this grammatical gender through regular phonetic evolution of the Latin feminine ending "-a" to Portuguese "-a". The word originally referred to the tracks or marks left by these sledges, and later generalized to mean "path" or "trail".
