Perché è feminine?

Affaires is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "affaris" (from "ad-" + "facere," meaning "to do" or "business/matter"). French retained the feminine gender from its Latin ancestor. This etymological inheritance is typical for Romance languages, where Latin's grammatical gender was preserved in the evolution to modern French.
