¿Por qué es feminine?

Literatura is feminine because it derives from the Latin "literatura," which inherited the feminine gender of Latin "-tura" nouns (a suffix that typically produced feminine nouns in Romance languages). This gender assignment followed the pattern established by Latin words like "natura" (nature) and "pintura" (painting), which also became feminine in Spanish.
