Why is it masculine?
Ingrédient is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ingrediens" (entering, going in). While Latin "ingrediens" is indeed masculine, the gender assignment in French is better explained by the word's adoption as a masculine noun rather than by a productive "-ient" ending rule, since "-ient" endings in French are not a reliable gender marker for inherited Latin words.
