Why is it feminine?
Jupes is feminine because it derives from the Arabic "jūbba" (a type of garment), and when borrowed into Old French, it took on the feminine gender—likely influenced by the existing feminine noun "robe" (dress) since both referred to clothing worn by women. Like most French noun genders, there's no logical rule; it's simply an exception that arose from the word's adoption and semantic association with other feminine garment terms.
