Why is it feminine?
Cancha is feminine. It derives from Quechua *kancha* (an enclosure or field), and when Spanish borrowed this indigenous word, it was assigned feminine gender. The gender assignment may have been influenced by the word's phonetic ending in -a, which is a common feminine marker in Spanish, or by analogy with similar Spanish words like *plaza* (feminine). Borrowed words from indigenous languages often follow Spanish gender conventions based on their phonetic form rather than etymological patterns.
