Why is it feminine?
Flèches is feminine because it derives from Latin "flexa" (feminine past participle of "flectere", meaning "bent" or "arrow"). In Old French and Modern French, the -e ending typically marks feminine nouns, and this ending was preserved from the Latin feminine form. The feminine gender is therefore explained both by the etymological feminine form and the productive -e feminine ending pattern in French.
