Why is it feminine?
Águila is feminine because it derives from Latin "aquila," which was grammatically feminine, and this gender was preserved through the evolution of Spanish. The word's feminine gender persists in modern Spanish despite the masculine article "el" being used before it (el águila) to avoid the awkward repetition of the vowel sound that would occur with "la."
