Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Bananes is feminine in French. While the word does derive from Bantu languages (likely Kikongo "banana"), the gender assignment is primarily due to the feminine ending "-ane" in French, which typically marks feminine nouns. Words ending in "-ane" like "profane" and "arcane" are actually adjectives or masculine nouns, so this comparison is misleading. The feminine gender of "banane" is better explained by its ending "-ane" functioning as a feminine suffix (similar to "-ine", "-enne"), which is a more reliable pattern for French gender assignment than appealing to historical assimilation.
