Why is it feminine?
Vis is feminine in French because it derives from Latin "vis" (force, strength), which was feminine in Latin—a gender assignment that French retained when the word entered the language. However, in modern French, "vis" (meaning "screw") is actually masculine, not feminine. The feminine form "vis" referring to "force" or "strength" is archaic/literary.
