Why is it feminine?

Experiencia is feminine because it derives from Latin "experientia," which was a first-declension feminine noun ending in "-ia," a suffix that typically produces feminine nouns in Romance languages. This "-ia" ending remained productive in Spanish for creating feminine nouns, so words inherited from Latin with this suffix retained their feminine gender.
