Why is it feminine?
Soirée is feminine because it derives from Old French "soir" (evening), and the suffix "-ée" is a productive feminine noun-forming suffix in French. The "-ée" suffix creates feminine nouns, particularly those denoting a quantity, duration, or collection (e.g., "journée" from "jour", "année" from "an"). In the case of "soirée", it originally meant "the duration of an evening" or "an evening gathering", and this feminine suffix marks the word as grammatically feminine.
