Why is it feminine?

Poleas is feminine because it ends in "-a", which is the most common feminine ending in Spanish. The word derives from Latin "polēa", which was also feminine. While the word's ultimate origins may trace to Greek, the direct connection to "πολύς" (polys, meaning "many") through a diminutive formation is not well-established. The feminine gender is primarily explained by the Latin feminine form and the productive "-a" ending in Spanish.
