Why is it feminine?
Mochila is feminine in Portuguese. While the word does derive from Spanish "mochila," the explanation of why it is feminine is problematic. The word's feminine gender in Portuguese is likely due to the influence of the Spanish feminine form, but the etymological claim about Basque origins and the diminutive suffix is not well-established in standard etymological references. The most reliable explanation is simply that Portuguese borrowed the word from Spanish in its feminine form and maintained that gender, as is common with loanwords that retain the gender of their source language.
