Why is it feminine?
Cárceles is feminine. While it does derive from Latin "carcer" (a masculine noun), the feminine gender in Spanish is not well-explained by the proposed rule. The most likely explanation is that "cárcel" belongs to a small group of Spanish nouns ending in "-el" that are feminine, possibly due to semantic association with other feminine nouns or analogical influence during language evolution. However, the exact mechanism of this gender assignment remains uncertain in historical linguistics.
