Why is it feminine?
Paredes is feminine because it derives from Latin "pariēs" (wall). In Latin, "pariēs" was a third-declension masculine noun, but its accusative form "parietem" evolved into "pared" in Spanish. The shift from masculine to feminine occurred because the word was reinterpreted through its accusative form ending in -em, which became -e in Spanish and was then associated with feminine nouns ending in -d (like "pared", "verdad", "ciudad"). This reanalysis of gender is a common pattern in Romance language evolution.
