Why is it feminine?
Chaussette is feminine because it's a diminutive form of the older French word "chausse" (a close-fitting leg garment), derived from Latin "calceus" (shoe), and French diminutives formed with the suffix "-ette" are typically feminine. The "-ette" suffix itself carries feminine gender, which is why words like "chaussette," "serviette," and "omelette" are all feminine.
