Master (form of address)
Master is an English honorific for boys and young men.
==Origin of the term==
''Master'' was used in England for men of some rank, especially "free masters" of a trade guild and by any manual worker or servant employee addressing his employer (his master), but also generally by those lower in status to gentlemen, priests, or scholars. In the Elizabethan period, it was used between equals, especially to a group ("My masters"), mainly by urban artisans and tradespeople. It was later extended to all respectable men and was the forerunner of ''Mister''.
After its replacement in common speech by ''Mister'', ''Master'' was retained as a form of address only for boys who have not yet entered society. By the late 19th century, etiquette dictated that men be addressed as ''Mister'', and boys as ''Master''.
