Why is it feminine?
Doccia is feminine because it derives from the Latin "ductia" (from "ducere," to lead or conduct), which was feminine. Italian preserved this grammatical gender through the regular evolution of Latin feminine nouns ending in "-ia," which became "-ia" in Italian feminine nouns. The word originally referred to a water conduit or channel, and retained its feminine gender as the meaning evolved to describe a shower.
