Why is it feminine?
Pelotas is feminine because it derives from Latin "pila" (a ball), which belonged to the first declension—a category of Latin nouns that were typically feminine. The -a ending in Spanish is the regular feminine marker inherited directly from this Latin feminine form. In Spanish, nouns ending in -a are generally feminine, and this pattern was preserved through the evolution from Latin to Romance languages.
