Why is it feminine?
Lâchetés is feminine because it derives from the Old French adjective "lâche" (cowardly), and the suffix "-té" (from Latin "-tate") was used to form abstract nouns denoting qualities or states, which were consistently feminine in French. This Latin-derived suffix pattern established that abstract nouns ending in "-té" would be feminine, making "lâcheté" (cowardice) follow the standard rule rather than being an exception.
