¿Por qué es feminine?

Nostalgia is feminine in Spanish (la nostalgia) because it ends in "-ia", a suffix that typically marks feminine nouns in Spanish. The word derives from the Greek "nostos" (homecoming) and "algos" (pain), combined into the modern term "nostalgia." While the etymological path through Latin is plausible, the primary reason for its feminine gender in Spanish is the productive "-ia" feminine ending, which consistently marks nouns as feminine in the language.
