Why is it feminine?
Fierté is feminine because it derives from the Latin "feritas" (wildness, ferocity), which was a feminine noun, and French inherited this grammatical gender through the regular sound changes that transformed Latin feminine nouns ending in "-itas" into French "-té" words. This suffix "-té" (from Latin "-tas"/"-tatis") consistently produces feminine nouns in French, making "fierté" (pride/fierceness) feminine by this productive rule.
