Why is it feminine?
Sagesse is feminine because it derives from Latin "sapientia," which was a feminine noun (ending in -ia, a typically feminine Latin ending). This grammatical gender was preserved when the word evolved into Old French and Modern French. The -esse suffix in French typically appears in feminine abstract nouns and adjectives denoting qualities, which reinforces the feminine gender of this word.
