Why is it feminine?
Pomme is feminine because it derives from Latin "pomum" (fruit), which was a neuter noun. In Old French, the final -um ending of neuter Latin nouns typically evolved to -e, which became associated with feminine gender. This phonetic evolution, combined with semantic associations with other feminine fruit and food words, led to "pomme" being reanalyzed and established as feminine in French.
