Why is it masculine?
Thym is masculine because it derives from Latin "thymum," which was itself borrowed from Greek "thymon." Latin neuter nouns ending in -um typically became masculine in Old French as the neuter gender collapsed. The Latin nominative form "thymum" became "thym" in French, retaining masculine gender through this regular sound change.
