Why is it feminine?
Feminine plural noun used only in the plural for this meaning (pluralia tantum), like English "glasses" or "scissors." From Arabic qafca ("hook, clamp"), referring originally to the side-pieces that hook over the ears. The singular gafa exists but means a hook or clamp, not eyewear. The feminine gender follows the default Spanish pattern for nouns ending in -a, and the plural form became fixed because eyeglasses inherently come as a pair.
