Why is it feminine?
Signora derives from the Latin "senior" (older, lord), which developed into Old Italian "signore" (masculine form for a man of rank); the feminine "signora" follows the regular Italian pattern of adding -a to the masculine form to create the female counterpart, similar to how "professore" becomes "professoressa" or "maestro" becomes "maestra." However, note that "signora" uses the simple -a suffix rather than the -essa suffix used in some other feminine forms.
