Etymology
The verb 選ぶ (erabu) comes from Old Japanese えらぶ (erabu), which originally meant 'to sort' or 'to pick out' from a group of options. The polite -masu conjugation is formed by adding ます (masu) to the verb's masu-stem, 選び (erabi).
Memory Aid
Break it down: 選 (era) means 'to pick', び (bi) is the stem ending, and ます (masu) makes it polite. Remember that を marks what you are choosing.
