Why is it feminine?

Pasión is feminine because it derives from the Latin "passio" (feminine noun), which itself comes from "passus," the past participle of "patī" meaning "to suffer" or "to endure"—a linguistic inheritance preserved through Spanish's Romance language evolution. The -ión ending in Spanish typically produces feminine nouns, a pattern that reinforced this gender assignment.
