Why is it feminine?

Naranjas is feminine because it derives from Arabic "nāranj," which came from Sanskrit "nāraṅga." The word entered Spanish through medieval trade and cultural contact with Arabic-speaking regions. While the etymology is correct, the feminine gender is actually determined by the Spanish word ending in "-a," which typically signals feminine nouns in Spanish, rather than by preservation of an Arabic feminine form. The word was adapted to follow Spanish gender patterns based on its phonetic form.
