It is also plural of 'aroobat on the weight/pattern fa'oolat

Same reference as above.

And it is a (real) feminine plural intensive adjective, not masculine.

we must not be concerned with syntax so much that just because a formal feminine indicator given by grammarians like ta or aa. (alif followed by hamza) or aa (alif on ya) doesn't come, we label it as masculine, and ignore the reality or actual situation.

For example khaleefat has a ta, if we follow syntax blindly, we would label it as feminine, but it is a (real) masculine.
