Why is it feminine?

Carpetas is feminine because it ends in "-a," which is the typical feminine ending in Spanish. While the word does derive from Latin, the specific etymological claim about "carpeta" being the feminine form of a word related to "carpere" (to pluck or card wool) is not well-established. The most straightforward explanation is that Spanish nouns ending in "-a" are typically feminine, and "carpeta" follows this regular pattern.
