Why is it feminine?
Studentessa is feminine because it uses the "-essa" suffix, which is a productive Italian feminine suffix used to create female agent nouns from masculine nouns ending in "-e" or "-o". The masculine "studente" (from Latin "studens") becomes "studentessa" (feminine) through this suffix. While "-ente" does derive from Latin "-ens/-entis", the operative suffix here for feminization is "-essa", not the "-ente" ending itself.
