Why is it feminine?
Rame (oar) is feminine in French. While it derives from Latin "remus" (masculine), the gender shift likely occurred due to analogy with other feminine nouns ending in -ame, or through phonetic reanalysis in Old French where the -e ending became associated with feminine gender. The proposed connection to "ramus" (branch/stem) is speculative, as "rame" (oar) and "rame" (branch) are distinct etymological lines, though both underwent similar gender shifts in Romance languages.
