Why is it feminine?
Jalousies is feminine because it derives from Old French "jalousie," which came from the adjective "jaloux" (jealous). The feminine gender is inherited from the Old French form and reinforced by the Latin root "zelōsus." While French does show a tendency for abstract nouns derived from adjectives to adopt feminine gender, this is not a consistent rule, and the feminine gender of "jalousie" is best explained by its direct inheritance from the Old French feminine form rather than by a general pattern.
