Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Serpientes is feminine because it derives from Latin "serpens" (neuter), which comes from the verb "serpere" (to creep or crawl). In Spanish, this Latin neuter noun was reinterpreted as feminine, adopting the -a ending characteristic of feminine nouns. This represents a gender shift from Latin neuter to Spanish feminine, a pattern seen in other Spanish words derived from Latin neuter nouns.
