Why is it feminine?
Fois is feminine because it derives from the Latin "vices" (accusative plural of "vicis," meaning "turn" or "time"). In Old French, this plural form was reanalyzed as a feminine singular noun, likely due to the -s ending being associated with feminine nouns in Old French phonological patterns. The feminine gender was then maintained and standardized in Modern French.
