Why is it feminine?

Panna (cream) is feminine. While the word does derive from Latin "pannus" (cloth/fabric), the gender explanation requires correction: "pannus" was actually masculine in Latin, not feminine. The feminine gender of Italian "panna" likely resulted from phonetic evolution and analogical processes during the transition from Latin to Italian, rather than direct preservation of a feminine Latin gender. The semantic shift from cloth to cream reflects the material's texture similarity.
