Why is it masculine?

Paradis is masculine because it derives from Latin "paradisus," which was borrowed from Greek "paradeisos." French retained the masculine gender from Latin. However, the gender assignment is not primarily due to the "-is" ending, as this ending does not consistently determine gender in French nouns of Latin origin. Rather, "paradis" maintains the masculine gender inherited directly from its Latin predecessor.
