Why is it feminine?
Hebilla is feminine because it derives from Latin "fibula" (a clasp or brooch), which was feminine in Latin. Spanish inherited this grammatical gender through regular sound changes and morphological evolution. While the word does contain the suffix "-illa", this is part of the inherited Latin form rather than a Spanish diminutive suffix added to create femininity—the entire word "fibula" evolved into "hebilla" as a unit.
