Is "escalón" masculine or feminine?
One of today's Word of the Day examples was "la tercera escalón". Should it not be "el tercer" instead of "la tercera"?

"La" is connected to the adjective "tercera" describing escalón.
The third step
If it were only escalón it would be "el escalón".
The step
It's certainly masculine, so it shouldn't be 'tercera'.
