Why is it feminine?
Ambassade is feminine in French because it derives from the Italian "ambasciata," which came from the Vulgar Latin "ambasciata" (itself possibly from a Germanic root meaning "servant" or "messenger"), and this word form naturally took on feminine gender in French, likely influenced by the -ade suffix which often marks feminine nouns. The gender became fixed through historical usage rather than following a predictable grammatical rule.
