Why is it feminine?
Sierra is feminine because it derives from Latin "serra" (a saw or sawtooth object), which was a feminine noun in Latin, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender through regular sound changes. The feminine ending "-a" in Spanish typically descends from feminine Latin nouns ending in "-a," making "sierra" a straightforward case of gender preservation from Latin.
