Why is it feminine?
Ossa (bone) is masculine because it derives from Latin "os, ossis" (neuter). In Italian, this Latin neuter noun was reanalyzed and adopted the masculine gender, becoming "osso" with the masculine singular nominative ending "-o". This represents the general pattern where Latin neuter nouns, particularly those with the nominative form "os", were incorporated into the masculine gender class in Italian, which had a productive "-o" ending for masculine nouns.
