Why is it feminine?
Années is feminine because it derives from the Latin "annata," a feminine noun formed from the masculine "annus" (year). In Latin, the -ata suffix created a feminine form meaning "a year's period" or "annual allowance." When this word entered Old French, it retained its feminine gender, which has been preserved in Modern French. The word is typically used in the feminine form in French, as in "une année" (a year).
