Why is it feminine?

Cuenta is feminine because it derives from the Latin verb "computare" (to count/reckon). The noun "cuenta" developed from the Latin past participle "computata," which is feminine. In Spanish, nouns ending in -a are typically feminine, and "cuenta" retained this feminine gender from its Latin origins. The -a ending reinforces its feminine classification in Spanish.
