How is a word masculine or feminine in spanish?

In Spanish, the gender of a word is mostly determined by its ending. Words that end in -o are generally masculine, while words that end in -a are generally feminine. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and some words have a fixed gender that cannot be altered. Additionally, some words that refer to living beings may have different genders depending on the biological sex of the subject being referred to.
