¿Por qué es feminine?
Mer (sea) is feminine in French. It derives from Latin "mare," which was neuter in classical Latin. During the evolution from Latin to Old French, the neuter gender was lost. Latin neuter nouns ending in "-e" (like mare) typically developed an -e ending in Old French phonetics, which became associated with feminine gender in French. This phonetic change, combined with the natural sound of the word in Old French, contributed to "mer" becoming feminine. However, this is not a reliable rule, as many Latin neuter nouns became masculine in French instead.
