Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Montre is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "monstra" (things shown or displayed), from the verb "monstrare" (to show). However, the actual feminine form in Latin would be "monstrum" (neuter) or related feminine forms. The French word "montre" (watch/clock) comes from the feminine noun "montre," which developed from Old French "monstre" meaning "a thing shown" or "display." The gender is feminine in French, though the etymological path through Latin feminine forms is not as direct as stated. The modern meaning of "montre" as a "watch" (timepiece) developed from the idea of a "displayed" or "shown" mechanism.
