Why is it feminine?
Corne (horn) is feminine in French. It derives from Latin "cornu" (horn), which is a neuter noun. However, the feminine form "corne" comes from the Latin accusative "cornum," which when passed through Vulgar Latin and Old French phonetic evolution, developed into the feminine noun "corne." Words ending in -e in French are typically feminine, and this pattern helped establish "corne" as a feminine noun during the Romance language evolution from Latin.
