Why is it feminine?
Horloge is feminine because it derives from Old French "horloge," which came from Latin "horologium" (a neuter noun meaning "timepiece"), but the word was reanalyzed as feminine, likely influenced by the feminine ending "-e" in French and association with other feminine nouns ending in "-oge." Like many noun gender assignments in French, this reflects sound patterns rather than a consistent grammatical rule, making it somewhat of an exception to predict based on etymology alone.
