Why is it feminine?
Misura is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "mensura" (measurement, measure), which followed the first declension pattern typical of feminine nouns ending in -a in Latin and passed this gender into Italian. The -a ending became a strong marker of femininity in Romance languages, making any word inherited from Latin first-declension feminines automatically feminine in Italian.
