Why is it feminine?
Scarpe is feminine because it derives from the Latin "scarpa" (singular noun), which belonged to the feminine gender in Late Latin. The -a ending is a characteristic marker of feminine gender in Italian and other Romance languages, inherited directly from Latin feminine nouns of the first declension. The word's ultimate origin is uncertain, possibly from Germanic languages, but its feminine gender was preserved through the regular phonetic and morphological evolution from Latin to Italian.
