Why is it feminine?
Tristesses is feminine because it derives from the Latin "tristitia," which was feminine in Latin. The Latin "-itia" suffix produced feminine nouns, and this pattern carried over into French, where Latin abstract nouns ending in "-itia" became French words ending in "-esse" (such as "richesse" from Latin "ricchezza" and "tristesse" from Latin "tristitia"). This consistent suffix transformation explains why "tristesse" is feminine in French.
