Why is it feminine?

Corbatas is feminine because it derives from the French "cravate," which came from "Croate" (Croatian), referring to the Croatian mercenaries whose distinctive neckwear inspired the garment's name. In Spanish, "corbata" is feminine, likely influenced by the French feminine form "cravate." However, the gender does not follow a predictable pattern from the word's ending alone, making it an exception to typical Spanish gender rules.
