Why is it feminine?
Cumbre is feminine because it derives from Latin "cumba," which was a first-declension feminine noun. Although the Latin word referred to a curved object or valley, Spanish inherited both the feminine gender and the ending "-a," which is a typical feminine marker in Spanish. The word's meaning evolved to refer to a mountain summit or peak, but its feminine gender was preserved from its Latin origins.
