Actrices is feminine because it uses the standard French feminine suffix "-trice" (from Latin "-trix"), which transforms the masculine "acteur" (from Latin "actor") to denote a female performer. This suffix pattern reflects Latin's gendered noun system, where many agent nouns had distinct masculine and feminine forms.
