Why is it feminine?
Cena is feminine because it descends from Latin "cena" (dinner), which was grammatically feminine in Latin, and Spanish retained the feminine gender of words inherited from the Latin second declension feminine nouns ending in -a. Gender assignment in Romance languages is largely inherited from Latin rather than derived from phonetic or semantic rules, making this essentially a historical accident of transmission.
