Why is it feminine?

Lauree is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "laurea" (laurel wreath), which itself comes from "laurus" (the laurel plant/tree), following the standard Latin pattern where feminine nouns ending in "-a" were typically adopted into Italian as feminine words. The connection to laurel wreaths persists in the figurative sense of an academic degree as an honor or achievement.
