Why is it feminine?
Huiles is feminine because it derives from Latin "oleum" (neuter), which evolved through Vulgar Latin into the Old French "huile." The gender shift to feminine likely occurred through analogy with other -e ending nouns in French, which are predominantly feminine, rather than through direct semantic influence from "ōlea" (olive tree). The final -e in French typically marks feminine nouns, which reinforced the feminine classification during the language's evolution.
