Why is it feminine?
Règle is feminine because it derives from Latin "regula," which was feminine in gender, and this grammatical gender was preserved when the word entered Old French and evolved into Modern French. The Latin root itself likely comes from "regere" (to rule/direct), but the feminine form of the noun became the standard form that survived into French.
