Why is it feminine?
Corde is feminine because it derives from Latin "chorda" (a string or gut used in musical instruments), which was feminine in Latin and retained that gender through the evolution into Old French and Modern French. Like many Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a," the word maintained its feminine classification when the "-a" ending evolved into the French "-e."
