Why is it feminine?

Origini is feminine because it derives from Latin "origo, originis," which is a third-declension feminine noun, and Italian retained the feminine gender of its Latin ancestor. This etymological inheritance is typical for many Italian nouns ending in "-ione" (which are predominantly feminine), though "origine" itself comes directly from the Latin nominative rather than through the "-ione" suffix.
