Why is it feminine?

Gares is feminine. While the word does derive from Old French "gare" (from Germanic roots related to "wara" meaning "care" or "protection"), the explanation of why it maintains feminine gender is speculative. The feminine gender of "gare" is established through French morphological patterns and historical usage, but the specific mechanism of gender inheritance from Old French cannot be definitively explained by the given rule. The word's gender is better understood as a lexical fact of Modern French rather than derived from a clear productive rule.
