Why is it feminine?
Epidemia is feminine in Spanish because it derives from the Greek feminine noun "epidemia" (ἐπιδημία), which was adopted into Latin as a feminine noun and subsequently inherited its gender in Spanish and other Romance languages. The Greek root combines "epi-" (upon) and "demos" (people), but the feminine grammatical gender was established through its Greek origin rather than following any productive Spanish gender rule.
