Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Explication is feminine in French. It derives from the Latin "explicatio," which belonged to the third declension (not the first) and was feminine in Latin. This feminine gender was retained through Old French and Modern French. The "-tion" ending in French consistently marks feminine nouns, a pattern inherited from Latin feminine nouns ending in "-tio."
