Why is it masculine?
Riz is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "rizum" (itself borrowed from Arabic "aruzz"), the explanation conflates two separate phenomena. Latin "rizum" was already treated as masculine in Late Latin/Early Romance, not converted from neuter during Old French. The word's masculine gender is simply inherited from its Latin masculine form, not an exception but rather regular gender preservation from the source language.
