Why is it feminine?
Verdade is feminine because it derives from Latin "veritas," which belonged to the third-declension feminine noun class (ending in -tas), and this Latin feminine gender was preserved when the word evolved into Portuguese. The -tas ending in Latin consistently produced feminine nouns, a pattern that carried over to modern Romance languages.
