Perché è masculine?

Colega is a masculine noun in Spanish meaning "colleague." It derives from Latin "collega" (formed from "com-" meaning "with" and "legare" meaning "to send" or "to appoint"), which was grammatically masculine in Latin. Spanish retained this masculine gender from the Latin original. However, "colega" is actually a common gender noun in modern Spanish—it can be used for colleagues of any gender without change to the word form itself, though it typically takes masculine articles and adjectives (el colega, un colega) regardless of the referent's gender.
