Why is it feminine?
Orquídea is feminine because it derives from Latin "orchidea" (from Greek "órchis"), which was a feminine noun in Late Latin. The Spanish form inherited the feminine gender along with the Latin feminine ending "-a", which is the productive feminine ending in Spanish. While the word is ultimately rooted in Greek, its gender in Spanish is explained by the regular pattern of Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a" becoming feminine in Spanish.
