Why is it feminine?
Sposa is feminine because it derives from Latin "sponsa," the feminine form of "sponsus" (bridegroom). In Latin, the -a ending typically marked feminine nouns in the first declension, while "sponsus" belonged to the second declension masculine nouns. The feminine form "sponsa" follows the regular pattern where -a endings indicate feminine gender. This gender has been preserved through Italian's evolution from Latin.
