Why is it feminine?

Décisions is feminine because it derives from Latin "decisio," which belongs to the third declension feminine nouns ending in "-io" (like "actio" and "passio"), a pattern that consistently produced feminine nouns in Old French and Modern French. This "-sion" ending in French remains predominantly feminine due to this Latin inheritance.
