The phrase 'お元気そうで何よりです' is a combination of several elements. 'お元気 (o-genki)' means 'healthy' or 'fine,' with 'お (o-)' being an honorific prefix. 'そうで (sou de)' indicates 'looks like' or 'seems.' '何より (nani yori)' translates to 'more than anything' or 'above all else,' implying that someone's good health is the most important and best thing. The 'です (desu)' is a polite copula. This expression likely evolved from a desire to convey sincere well-wishes and happiness upon observing someone's good health, emphasizing that their well-being is paramount.
