    Mr. is derived from master and Ms. is derived from mistress. Their pronunciation is derived from their etymology.

    I agree though that common usage plays a part.

      Master and Mr are different in usage, the former for young people (under 18).

      Ms is pronounced with the /z/ sound, not the ‘s’ in mistress.
