Por que é feminine?

Melancolía is feminine because it derives from Latin "melancholia," which inherited the feminine gender from Greek "melancholia" (μελαγχολία)—a noun formed from "melanos" (black) and "cholē" (bile), following the feminine gender pattern of Greek abstract nouns ending in "-ia." This gender was preserved when the word passed into Spanish and other Romance languages.
