様
よう · you · JLPT N4 · suffix
way
様 = tree 木 + 羊 sheep + 水 water: the pattern or look of a thing
Sound hook: よう is a long yo, as in yo, what kind? The same character read さま is the polite title after names, since a person's manner became a respectful way to refer to them. Seen in 様子 (ようす), the state or look of things.
さま · sama · JLPT N1 · suffix
Mr. or Mrs.
様 = way/manner of being, so it became a polite title: sama = respected Mr./Mrs.
Its older sense is appearance or manner, matching the English word way in the way a person does something. Attached to a name, it shows respect, so 田中様 means Mr. or Mrs. Tanaka.
