Why is it feminine?

Alegrías is feminine because it ends in "-ía", a suffix that consistently marks feminine nouns in Spanish. The word derives from Latin "alacritas" (liveliness), and Spanish nouns ending in "-ía" (derived from Latin "-tas" and "-tia" feminine endings) retained their feminine gender through the evolution from Latin to Spanish. This is part of a productive pattern where Spanish nouns ending in "-ía" are virtually always feminine.
