Why is it feminine?
Leche is feminine because it derives from Latin "lac" (neuter), but when Romance languages evolved, many Latin neuter nouns were absorbed into the feminine gender class, and "lac" became feminine "leche" in Spanish following the pattern of -e endings that typically marked feminine nouns. This is essentially an exception to typical gender patterns, as many neuter Latin words were reassigned to feminine rather than masculine categories during the transition to Spanish.
