Why is it feminine?
Scelta is feminine because it derives from the Latin past participle "selecta" (feminine form of "selectus," meaning chosen), which retained its feminine gender in Italian. The -a ending in both Latin and Italian marks feminine nouns, so the word naturally became feminine when it evolved into modern Italian.
