Why is it feminine?
Electricidad is feminine because it derives from the Latin "electricitas," which inherited the feminine gender from the Latin suffix "-itas" (used to form abstract nouns), similar to how other Spanish abstract nouns ending in "-idad" like "ciudad" and "libertad" are also feminine. This suffix pattern became a productive rule in Spanish, making virtually all "-idad" nouns feminine.
