Why is it feminine?
Colina (hill) is feminine. While it does derive from Latin "collis" (masculine), the Spanish form is not actually a diminutive. Instead, "colina" represents a regular feminine noun formation from the Latin root. Spanish nouns ending in "-a" are typically feminine, and "colina" follows this standard pattern. The word's gender is best explained by the productive feminine ending "-a" in Spanish rather than by a diminutive suffix.
