paisaje

/paiˈsaxe/ · B2 · noun · m

landscape

paisaje — landscape

🏞️ paisaje = país (country) + -aje: what the country looks like

Borrowed from French paysage, built from pays (country) plus the suffix -age. Spanish país is the same root, so a paisaje is literally the look of the land. The -aje ending, like viaje and garaje, also explains why it is masculine: el paisaje.
