¿Por qué es feminine?
Risa (laughter) is feminine because it derives from Latin "risus." While "risus" was masculine in Latin (second declension), Spanish developed the feminine noun "risa" through regular sound changes and analogy with the productive feminine "-a" suffix pattern. In Spanish, most nouns ending in "-a" are feminine, and "risa" follows this pattern, making it a feminine noun in modern Spanish.
