Why is it feminine?
Muñeca is feminine because it derives from Latin "moneta" (coin), which was a feminine noun. The word evolved through semantic shift in Spanish, where "moneta" came to mean "doll" (from the practice of making dolls from coins or coin-shaped objects), and subsequently "wrist" (from the doll-like appearance or movement of the wrist). The feminine gender was preserved from the original Latin feminine noun "moneta."
