Why is it feminine?

Caras (face) is feminine because it derives from Latin "cara," which was feminine in the classical language, and this gender was preserved through the evolution into Spanish and other Romance languages. However, the Latin etymon is actually "cara" from Proto-Indo-European *kers- (head), not an uncertain source. The feminine gender is a direct inheritance from Latin where the word was feminine, making this a case of inherited gender rather than a predictable grammatical rule.
