Perché è feminine?

Rumeur is feminine because it derives from the Latin "rumor" (originally masculine in classical Latin). In Old French, the word evolved to "rumeur" and became feminine, likely due to the productive feminine suffix "-eur" (from Latin "-orem") that was reanalyzed as a feminine ending in French, similar to other feminine nouns like "peur", "fleur", and "douleur". This gender assignment was then inherited by modern French.
