Why is it feminine?
Musiques is feminine because it derives from Latin "musica," which was feminine in gender, and French retained this grammatical gender when the word evolved through sound changes (the Latin -a ending typically becomes feminine in French). This inheritance from Latin's three-gender system explains most French noun genders, though the original reason Latin assigned "musica" to the feminine is lost to history.
