Why is it feminine?
Moglie (wife) derives from Latin "mulier" (woman), which is feminine. However, the feminine ending "-e" is not the direct result of the Latin nominative form. The word evolved through Vulgar Latin "moglier" and Old Italian forms, eventually settling on the modern Italian form "moglie" with the feminine ending "-e", which is typical of many Italian feminine nouns. Italian retained the feminine grammatical gender that matched both the Latin origin and the semantic meaning of a female person.
