Why is it feminine?
Orange is feminine in French. While the word does derive from Arabic "nāranj" (نارنج) through Medieval Latin, the feminine gender in French is not directly inherited from the Arabic feminine form. Rather, the gender was assigned or influenced by the phonetic form of the word as it entered Old French ("orenge"), where words ending in -e were typically feminine. The feminine gender became standard in Old French and has persisted into modern French.
