Why is it feminine?
Haie (hedge) is feminine. While the word does have Germanic origins, the specific etymology claimed (Latin "hagja") is not well-documented in standard etymological references. The word's feminine gender in French is more reliably explained by its historical treatment as a feminine noun in Old French, though the precise mechanism of gender assignment remains unclear. The -e ending in Modern French is consistent with many feminine nouns, but this is a pattern rather than a productive rule for determining gender.
