Why is it feminine?
Hambre is feminine because it derives from Latin "famem" (accusative of "fames"), which was a feminine noun, and this gender was preserved in Spanish despite the word's ending in "-e" (typically a masculine marker in modern Spanish). It's one of several exceptions where Spanish retained the original Latin gender rather than following the pattern suggested by modern word endings.
