Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Feuille is feminine because it derives from Latin "folia," the plural of "folium" (leaf), which was treated as a feminine noun in Old French and retained that gender in modern French. This is an exception to the typical pattern where Latin neuter plurals often became masculine in French.
