Why is it feminine?

Sabbie is feminine because it derives from Latin "sabulum," which belonged to the second declension neuter class, but when Romance languages evolved, many Latin neuter nouns shifted to the feminine gender, particularly those ending in "-a" in Italian. This represents a broader pattern where Latin neuters were reanalyzed as feminines during the transition to Italian.
