Why is it feminine?

Virtudes is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "virtus" (feminine noun, third declension), which was inherited and evolved into the Portuguese form. The -e ending in Portuguese typically indicates feminine gender for words of Latin third-declension origin. However, the association with abstract concepts alone did not determine gender; rather, the feminine gender was preserved through regular sound changes from Latin to Portuguese.
