Why is it feminine?
Courgette is feminine because it derives from the Old French "courge" (itself from Latin "cucurbita"), and the diminutive suffix "-ette" in French is inherently feminine, making the word follow the pattern of other feminine diminutives like "omelette" and "serviette." The Latin root "cucurbita" (gourd/squash) was feminine, reinforcing this gender assignment in French.
