Why is it feminine?
Trovoada is feminine because it derives from Latin "tonitrus" (masculine noun meaning "thunder"), which evolved into Portuguese with the feminine ending "-ada". The suffix "-ada" is a productive feminine ending in Portuguese, used for creating feminine nouns, particularly agent nouns and nouns derived from verbs. The word literally means "a thundering" or "thunderstorm", and the feminine gender is determined by this productive feminine suffix rather than by reanalysis of a neuter plural.
