Why is it feminine?
Tarjeta is a Spanish feminine noun meaning "card." It derives from Old Spanish "tarja" (a type of shield), which came from Arabic "târja." The word inherited feminine gender through the diminutive suffix "-eta" (a feminine ending in Spanish), which was applied to the masculine noun "tarja." The "-eta" suffix, commonly used to form feminine diminutives, solidified the feminine gender of "tarjeta." This is a common pattern in Spanish where diminutive forms with "-eta" are feminine.
