Why is it feminine?

Sopracciglia (eyebrow) is masculine because it derives from Latin "supercilium," which was grammatically masculine, and Italian retained this gender along with the noun's form. The word combines "sopra" (over) + "ciglio" (eyelash/eyebrow), and the -o ending naturally signals masculine gender in Italian's morphological system.
