¿Por qué es feminine?

Medalla is feminine because it derives from Latin "metallum" (metal). However, the connection between "metallum" and "medalla" is not direct. "Medalla" actually comes from Latin "metallum" via a semantic shift, but more directly relates to the Latin word "metallica" or similar forms. The feminine gender in Spanish is primarily due to the "-a" ending, which is the standard feminine noun ending in Spanish. Words ending in "-a" are typically feminine in Spanish, making "medalla" feminine by this productive morphological pattern.
