Why is it feminine?
Cascade is feminine in French (la cascade). While it does derive from Italian "cascata" (feminine), which ultimately traces back to the Latin verb "cadere" (to fall), the gender is maintained through the Italian feminine form. However, this is not actually an exception to French gender patterns—French nouns ending in "-ade" are typically feminine (e.g., "parade," "façade," "promenade"), so the feminine gender follows a regular, predictable pattern rather than being exceptional.
