Why is it feminine?
Asperge is feminine in French. While it does derive from Latin "asparagus," the feminine gender in French is primarily due to the semantic association with other feminine nouns referring to vegetables and plants, combined with phonetic changes during the evolution from Latin to Old French. The Latin masculine form "asparagus" underwent gender reassignment in Old French, likely influenced by analogical association with other feminine plant/vegetable terms in the Romance languages rather than a direct phonetic suffix transformation.
