Why is it feminine?
Brosses is feminine. While it does derive from Latin "bruscum" (a type of heath plant), the gender assignment in French is better explained by the Old French development where the word took the feminine form "brosse" with the -e ending, which became the standard feminine marker in French. The feminine gender was established in Old French and has been maintained in modern French, even though French has largely lost overt gender markers in pronunciation.
