Waarom is het vrouwelijk?

Vela is feminine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin "vela" (plural of "velum", meaning sail), the etymology explanation is incomplete. In Portuguese, "vela" has two primary meanings: "candle" and "sail." The feminine gender is standard for this word in both senses. The transformation from Latin neuter plural to Portuguese feminine singular is a documented pattern in Romance language evolution, where many Latin neuter plurals were reanalyzed as feminine singulars in Portuguese and other Romance languages.
