Why is it feminine?

Actrices is feminine because it uses the suffix "-iz," a feminine ending derived from Latin "-ix" (which denoted female agents of action), added to the masculine root "actor" to create a specifically female form. This parallels other Spanish feminine nouns like "emperatriz" (empress) and "directriz" (female director), all of which inherited this "-ix/-iz" pattern from Latin gender-marking conventions.
