Por que é feminine?

Pollution is feminine in French because it derives from the Latin *pollutio* (from *polluere*, to defile or soil). Latin nouns ending in *-tio* were grammatically feminine, and this gender was preserved when these words entered French and underwent the regular sound change to *-tion*. French maintains this pattern consistently: nearly all nouns ending in *-tion* are feminine.
