Why is it feminine?
Forza is feminine because it derives from Latin "fortis" (adjective meaning "strong"). In Vulgar Latin, the neuter plural form "fortia" was reanalyzed and evolved into Italian "forza" as a feminine noun. This gender shift occurred because the neuter gender disappeared in Romance languages, and words ending in -a typically became feminine. The word's semantic association with abstract qualities further reinforced its feminine gender, as abstract nouns in Italian tend to be feminine.
