Why is it masculine?
Juiz (judge) is masculine because it derives from Latin "iudex," which was grammatically masculine in Latin and retained that gender through Portuguese's evolution from Vulgar Latin. However, the claim about "-iz" endings is problematic—most Portuguese nouns ending in "-iz" are actually feminine (e.g., "matiz," "perdiz"). "Juiz" is better explained as a regular masculine inheritance from Latin rather than as part of a productive gender pattern in modern Portuguese.
