Why is it feminine?
Compressa is feminine because it is a noun (not merely a past participle) that has been nominalized from the Latin past participle "compressa" (feminine form of "compressus"). In Italian, it refers to a compressed tablet or medicinal tablet. The -a ending is the standard feminine singular marker inherited from Latin's first declension. The word functions as a standalone feminine noun in Italian, referring to a specific object (tablet/pill), rather than serving as a modifier agreeing with an implied noun.
