Why is it feminine?
Vergüenza is feminine because it derives from the Latin "verecundia" (feminine noun meaning shame or modesty), and Latin feminine nouns ending in "-ia" typically became feminine nouns ending in "-enza" or "-anza" in Spanish, preserving their gender. This is a consistent pattern rather than an exception.
