Perché è feminine?

Maladies is feminine because it derives from Latin "maladia," which came from "malus" (meaning bad or evil) with the feminine suffix "-ia." This Latin suffix "-ia" consistently produced feminine nouns in Romance languages, including French. The word follows the pattern of Latin feminine nouns ending in "-ia" that became feminine in French, such as "vie" (from Latin "vita") and "joie" (from Latin "gaudium" - though this is an exception). The "-ia" suffix is a reliable indicator of feminine gender in French derived from Latin etymons.
