Why is it feminine?
Profondeurs is feminine because it derives from the Latin "profunditas," a third declension feminine noun. The Latin suffix "-itas" consistently produced feminine nouns, and this gender was preserved in Old French where the suffix evolved to "-eur" (from "-eur" < "-orem", the accusative form of "-or"). French nouns ending in "-eur" derived from Latin "-itas" retained their feminine gender.
