Why is it feminine?
Silla is feminine because it derives from Latin "sella," which was feminine in gender, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender along with the -a ending that typically marks feminine nouns. The Latin root itself likely came from an Indo-European source related to "sitting," though the feminine gender assignment was a feature of Latin grammar rather than motivated by the word's meaning.
