Why is it feminine?

Maneras is feminine because it derives from Latin "manus" (hand) through the formation of an abstract noun. The word evolved through Vulgar Latin as a noun meaning "way" or "manner," and inherited feminine gender from Latin words ending in "-a." In Spanish, the "-a" ending typically marks feminine nouns, and "manera" follows this standard pattern.
