Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Falaises (cliff) is feminine. While the word does derive from Latin "falesia," the explanation of why it is feminine is incomplete. In French, the feminine gender is maintained through regular sound changes from Latin feminine nouns ending in -a, which typically become -e in French. The Latin "falesia" was feminine, and French phonetic evolution transformed it to "falaise," preserving the feminine gender according to standard Romance language gender patterns. The Gaulish/Celtic substrate origin is speculative and unnecessary for explaining the gender.
