No simple obvious answers like, It has mass/inertia because its heavy. In my humble opinion it seems mysterious where mass comes from and how inertia exists.

My own personal definition of matter:
Condensed and localized orbital energy flux..................go figure.
Actually, mass and matter are two different things.
The mass of a system will change as the energy of the system changes. Therefore mass and energy are equivalent. E=Mc^2
When something at rest is set in motion, it's mass is increased. This is the result of an addition of energy to the system.
Because matter is really only localized orbital energy flux, matter at rest will have mass. Even though the matter appears to be standing still, the abundant energy stored within is in constant motion.
