Perché è feminine?

Pieuvres is feminine. While it does derive from Latin "polypus" (from Greek "polýpous"), the feminine gender in French is primarily due to the word's evolution through Old French, where it underwent semantic and morphological changes. The modern form "pieuvre" acquired a feminine -vre ending during this evolution, which reinforced its feminine classification. However, the association with other feminine sea creatures and the -vre ending are consequences of the gender assignment rather than its cause. The gender is ultimately a historical accident of Romance language evolution.
