Why is it feminine?
Vertus is feminine because it derives from Latin "virtus" (feminine accusative "virtutem"). In the transition from Latin to Old French, the accusative case forms became the basis for the modern French word. The -em ending of the accusative was dropped, leaving "vertu," which was reanalyzed as a feminine noun, likely influenced by the phonetic similarity to other feminine abstract nouns ending in -tu and the association with the productive feminine suffix -té/-tu.
