Etymology

“Lesquelles” is a compound of the plural definite article **les** (from Latin *ille*, “that”) and the feminine plural interrogative **quelles** (from Latin *quae*, the plural of *qui*, “who/which”). It thus literally means “which ones,” and the form has been in use since Old French as a question or relative pronoun. The construction reflects the usual French practice of pairing the article with a pronoun to form a single interrogative word.
