Why is it feminine?
Vaga is feminine in Portuguese because it follows the standard feminine noun pattern ending in -a. While it derives from Latin, the etymology explanation is problematic: "vagus" in Latin is primarily an adjective meaning "wandering" or "vague," not a standalone feminine noun. In Portuguese, "vaga" functions as a feminine noun meaning "vacancy" or "opening," and its feminine gender is indicated by the -a ending, which is the productive feminine singular marker in Portuguese. The word's gender is best explained through its modern Portuguese noun classification rather than through uncertain Latin nominal inflection.
