In summary

Etymology tree
Proto-Italic *orssos
Latin ursus
Old French urs
Middle French ours
French ours
Inherited from Middle French ours, from Old French urs, from Latin ursus, from Proto-Italic *orssos.
The Early Modern French pronunciation was /uʁ/ before consonants, /uʁz/ before vowels, and /uʁs/ in pausa. For the most part, the pausal pronunciations were eventually lost, but in some cases they were re-established as the basic form (reinforced in part by the spelling, in part by related words; in this case perhaps the feminine ourse).
