Why is it feminine?

Deudas is feminine because it derives from the Latin "debita" (feminine singular of "debitum"). In Latin, "debitum" is a neuter noun, but "debita" serves as its feminine form. Spanish inherited and phonetically evolved "debita" into "deuda", preserving the feminine gender. Words ending in -a in Spanish are typically feminine, following the pattern established by Latin feminine nouns ending in -a.
