Why is it masculine?

Jus is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "ius" (also spelled "jus"), which was masculine in Latin's second declension; the masculine gender was retained when the word entered Old French and modern French. The Latin root itself likely connects to Indo-European origins related to mixing or blending, fitting the culinary sense of a meat broth or sauce.
