Why is it feminine?
Mele is feminine because it derives from Latin "mālum," which was neuter, but Italian inherited it through the accusative form "mālam" that developed feminine agreement patterns during the Romance language evolution. This shift reflects how many neuter nouns in Latin were reanalyzed as feminine in Italian based on their accusative case endings.
