Why is it masculine?

Matices is masculine. While it does derive from Arabic origins (related to "matīz"), the gender assignment follows the Spanish pattern where words ending in "-iz" are typically masculine. The word entered Spanish during the medieval period through Arabic influence, but the explanation conflates etymology with gender assignment—Spanish does not systematically assign masculine gender to Arabic loanwords. Rather, "matiz" is masculine primarily because of its ending (-iz), which is a more reliable gender indicator for Spanish nouns than the source language's gender.
