Чому "борода" жіночий рід?
- Country or region Ukraine
It’s because words that are ending on -а mostly belong to a group of the feminine (жіночий рід).

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Country or region Ukraine
з wiki
boroda (ukr, feminine) - borda (proto-slavic, feminine) - barda (pie, feminine)
можливо це те що цінилось тими носіями PIE прото-мови, що надали цьому слову жіночій рід

@iruuu it’s hard to explain because historically some words became feminine and some of them masculine or neuter or common. It’s like a specific thing about slavic language group.
It (рід) depends on word structure not on word meaning or usage.
