Why is it feminine?

Vez is feminine because it derives from Latin "vicem" (accusative of "vicis," meaning "turn" or "time"), which belonged to the third declension. In Latin, "vicis" was a feminine noun, and this feminine gender was preserved during the evolution from Latin to Portuguese, despite the loss of case endings.
