Why is it feminine?

Salas is feminine in Spanish. It derives from Latin "sala," which was borrowed from Germanic languages. The word retained feminine gender through the evolution from Vulgar Latin to Spanish, following the natural gender inheritance patterns of Romance languages. However, the specific reason for its feminine gender assignment is not definitively explained by its semantic field (spaces/rooms), as Spanish has both masculine and feminine words for rooms (e.g., "cuarto" is masculine, "cocina" is feminine).
