Spanish speaking friends: Is there any documentation on how it was decided whether various objects were "male" or "female"? Or do various nouns just have particular genders for no specific reason beyond someone arbitrarily decided it at some point in the past?
I actually didn't know that French was different from Spanish here. I just assumed they both inherited it from Latin (I know virtually zero French)

Latin had a neutral gender that French lost, so all those neutral words ended up gendered in more or less random ways.
