Por que é feminine?

Aubergines is feminine in French. The word derives from Arabic "al-bādhinjān" and entered French directly from Arabic (not through Italian "melanzana"). The feminine gender is likely reinforced by the feminine suffix "-ine", which is a common French feminine ending, and by analogy with other feminine nouns ending in "-ine". However, the word's gender in French appears to have been established through usage rather than following a single clear phonological rule.
