Why is it feminine?

Pregunta is feminine because it ends in -a, which is the typical feminine ending for Spanish nouns. It derives from Latin "praecunta," related to the verb "praecuntāre" (to ask), and retained the feminine gender from its Latin origins. Spanish nouns ending in -a are generally feminine, and "pregunta" follows this regular pattern.
