Why is it feminine?
Peines is feminine because it derives from Latin "poena" (punishment), which was feminine in Latin. When Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a" evolved into French, they typically became feminine nouns ending in "-e", and French retained the feminine gender from Latin. "Peine" follows this regular pattern of gender inheritance from Latin.
