Why is it feminine?
Pelouse is feminine because it derives from Old French "pelose," which came from the Latin "pilosus" (hairy) via the feminine form "pilosa"; the -ose/-ouse ending in Old French naturally carried feminine gender, which was retained as the word evolved into modern French "pelouse" (lawn). Like many French nouns, its gender was determined by its Latin etymological source and the gender conventions of Old French morphology.
