Why is it feminine?
Lettera is feminine because it derives from Latin "littera" (a letter or character), which was feminine in gender, and Italian inherited this gender classification when the word evolved phonetically. The Latin feminine gender was preserved through the regular sound changes that transformed Latin into Italian, including the retention of the -a ending that typically marks feminine nouns.
