Why is it masculine?

Riposo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "reposus" (past participle of "reponere," meaning to put back or rest). In Italian, this Latin masculine form evolved into the noun "riposo" (rest), which retained the masculine gender characteristic of Latin words ending in "-us" that became Italian nouns ending in "-o."
