Etymology
From Old Swedish ær (third-person singular indicative present of vara), from Old East Norse ᛁᛦ, ᛁᛋ (compare Old West Norse es, later er), from Proto-Norse ᛁᛊ (is), ᛁᛊᛏ (ist), from Proto-Germanic *isti, from Proto-Indo-European *es (“to be”).

Usage notes
The casual pronunciation is not in any way considered sloppy (as a point of reference, it's used in Ingmar Bergman scenes with highly stylized language). The spelling pronunciation can sound over-enunciated if used consistently.
