Why is it feminine?

Sabiduría is feminine because it derives from Latin "sapientia," which was a feminine noun (ending in -ia), and Spanish inherited this grammatical gender along with the suffix -ía that typically marks feminine nouns. The -ía ending itself became a productive feminine suffix in Spanish, reinforcing the feminine gender of abstract nouns like sabiduría, paciencia, and valentía.
