The titles "Mr." and "Mrs." originate from the Latin word "magister," meaning "master," and its feminine counterpart "mistress." Historically, "Mr." was used to denote a man of higher social status, while "Mrs." referred to a married woman, indicating her relationship to her husband. Over time, these titles became standardized in English to denote respect and marital status. The use of "Ms." later emerged as a neutral alternative for women, regardless of marital status.
