Why is it feminine?
Hauteurs is feminine because it derives from the Latin "altitudo" (feminine), which followed the standard Latin pattern of feminine nouns ending in "-tudo". In Old French, the "-tudo" suffix evolved into "-eur", and this feminine gender was retained through to modern French. French nouns ending in "-eur" derived from Latin "-tudo" remain feminine, distinguishing them from masculine agent nouns also ending in "-eur" (like "acteur").
