Why is it feminine?
Sœurs (sister) is feminine because it descends from Latin "soror," which was grammatically feminine in the Latin third declension. This gender assignment carried forward into Old French and Modern French. While the word ends in -r rather than typical feminine endings like -e, -tion, or -ité, the feminine gender was preserved through its Latin inheritance and is maintained in modern usage.
