Cose is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "causa" (cause, reason), which was already feminine in Latin. Latin nouns ending in -a were typically feminine, and this gender was preserved through regular sound changes as Latin evolved into Italian. The semantic shift from "cause" to "thing" occurred over time as the word's meaning broadened in medieval Italian.
