Why is it feminine?
Humeurs is feminine because it derives from Latin "humor" (masculine), but in Old French it was reanalyzed as feminine. While some -eur nouns are feminine (like "peur" and "douleur"), these are actually derived from Latin feminine nouns ending in -or/-oris. "Humeur" became feminine in French due to the influence of the Old French feminine ending -eur and semantic association with abstract qualities of emotion.
