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).
