Why is it feminine?

Verdura is feminine because it uses the feminine suffix "-ura," which regularly produces feminine nouns in Spanish (like ternura, amargura). The suffix "-ura" consistently assigns feminine gender to abstract and concrete nouns formed from adjectives. The word derives from the Latin adjective "viridis" (green), though the connection is somewhat indirect through Romance language evolution.
