Why is it feminine?

Lenzuola (bedsheet) is masculine because it derives from Latin "linteolum," a diminutive form of "linteum" (linen cloth). In Italian, -olum diminutive endings typically became -olo, and the word retained masculine gender from its Latin origin, following the regular pattern where Latin masculine nouns generally remain masculine in Italian.
