Why is it feminine?
Cartera is feminine because it derives from the Latin "cartārium" through the suffix "-era," which is a productive feminine suffix in Spanish (similar to "carnicera," "panadería," etc.). The "-era" suffix is inherently feminine in Spanish, making any noun formed with it feminine. This suffix typically denotes a person (female agent) or place associated with an action or object, and in this case "cartera" evolved from "cartārium" to mean a container or bag for papers and documents.
