Why is it feminine?
Suerte is feminine because it derives from Latin "sors" (feminine, nominative) / "sortem" (feminine, accusative), which meant "lot" or "fate". The word evolved through Vulgar Latin and maintained the feminine gender through Romance language evolution. Spanish inherited the feminine gender from the Latin accusative form "sortem", which is the typical source form for Spanish nouns.
