Why is it feminine?

Profesoras is feminine because it is the feminine form of "profesor" (teacher). In Spanish, the -a ending is the standard feminine marker for nouns, especially for occupational nouns. The masculine form "profesor" ends in -or, and by adding the feminine suffix -a, we get "profesora." This pattern reflects Spanish's inherited Romance language system where grammatical gender is marked through noun endings, with -a typically indicating feminine gender.
