Why is it feminine?
Classes is feminine in French because it derives from Latin "classis," which was grammatically feminine in Latin and retained that gender when borrowed into French. However, the phonetic evolution explanation is imprecise: Latin feminine nouns ending in -is typically evolved into French words ending in -e through regular sound changes, but this is better described as a general pattern of Latin -is feminine nouns rather than a specific rule about -e endings, since many Latin -is nouns produced various French endings.
