Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Vanille is feminine because it comes from Spanish "vainilla," which derives from Latin "vagina" (meaning sheath or pod). In French, words borrowed from Spanish that retain the "-illa" or similar endings often maintain their original feminine gender. Additionally, French words ending in "-ille" are predominantly feminine, which reinforced the feminine classification of "vanille" in French.
