Why is it feminine?

Iniezione is feminine because it derives from Latin "iniectio" (from "inicere," to inject), and Latin third-declension nouns ending in "-tio" were feminine, a gender that Italian retained through the regular feminine ending "-zione." This suffix consistently produces feminine nouns in Italian, making the gender predictable rather than exceptional.
