Perché è feminine?

Grèves is feminine because it derives from the Latin "grava" (feminine), which referred to a sandy or pebbly shore. In French, the word retained its feminine gender from Latin. The semantic shift from "shore" to "strike" occurred because workers would gather on the banks of the Seine in Paris during labor actions, and the location became associated with the protest itself. French nouns ending in "-ève" typically inherit feminine gender from their Latin origins.
