Why is it feminine?
Tasse is feminine because it derives from Italian "tazza," which comes from Arabic "ṭāssa" (طاسة), and this word entered French through trade and cultural contact, retaining the feminine gender that was assigned when it was adopted into the Romance language system. Like many borrowed words from Arabic in Romance languages, its gender follows the patterns of similar objects (cups, bowls) rather than a predictable phonetic rule.
