Why is it feminine?

Abuelas derives from Latin "avia," which was feminine because it referred to a female ancestor, and Spanish inherited this grammatical gender along with the feminine ending "-a" that developed from the Latin feminine nominative suffix. Like most Spanish nouns ending in "-a," it remains grammatically feminine, following a regular pattern rather than being an exception.
