Why is it feminine?
Gare is feminine because it derives from Latin "garra" (a feminine noun meaning claw or talon), which followed the first declension pattern (-a ending) typical of feminine nouns in Latin. Italian inherited this feminine gender from Latin, as words ending in -a typically remain feminine in Italian. The semantic evolution from the literal meaning of 'claw' to the metaphorical meaning of 'competition' or 'race' occurred over time, but the feminine gender remained attached to the word.
