Why is it feminine?
Azotea is feminine because it derives from Arabic "al-sutayha" (the terrace). When Spanish adopted this word during the medieval period, it retained feminine gender. The feminine gender is reinforced by the word's -a ending, which is the most common feminine noun ending in Spanish. While the connection to Latin "via" is speculative and not well-established, the word's gender is primarily explained by its Arabic feminine origin and the productive -a feminine ending in Spanish.
