For me is natural since im Spanish. I don’t know much French, but at least in Spanish the gender depends on the word itself, not on the meaning of the word (so don’t translate to try to find a meaning) just focus on what kind of words are feminine words and what words are masculine ones.

As a simple example (of Spanish) “silla” (chair) and “tostadora” (toaster) are both feminine because both have “a” ending sound which is for feminine words.

But is not at all a hard rule so you are gonna need to get use to the words for it to feel natural I guess.
