Attrice is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine form "actrix" (from "actor," meaning doer/performer), and Italian preserved this gendered distinction by adding the feminine suffix "-ice" to the masculine "attore." This follows the regular Italian pattern where many profession nouns borrowed from Latin maintain their original grammatical gender.
