Why is it feminine?
Promessa is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "promissa" (feminine past participle of "promittere"), which became a feminine noun in Latin. Italian inherited this feminine gender through normal sound changes from Latin, where first-declension words ending in -a were feminine. The -a ending in Italian consistently signals feminine gender for inherited Latin words.
