Why is it feminine?
Leyes is feminine because it derives from Latin "lex, legis," which was a feminine noun in Latin. Spanish retained this grammatical gender through regular phonetic evolution, where the Latin nominative/accusative stem "leg-" developed into Spanish "ley" with the -ey suffix. This represents a regular inheritance of Latin feminine gender in Spanish.
