Why is it feminine?

Cottura is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "coctura" (the act of cooking), which inherited the feminine gender from its root verb "coquere" and the standard feminine suffix "-ura" used in Latin to form abstract nouns. This Latin suffix "-ura" consistently produced feminine nouns and carried that gender into Italian as "-ura" words.
