Why is it feminine?
Tienda is feminine because it derives from the Latin "tendere" (to stretch), with the feminine suffix "-a" applied to the past participle stem, ultimately yielding "tendita" (a stretched cloth or tent used for selling), which evolved into the modern Spanish word for shop. The "-a" ending, which became the standard feminine marker in Romance languages, was preserved as the word's meaning shifted from a literal tent or stall to a commercial establishment.
