As it appears that whelm means pretty much the same thing as overwhelmed, it is possible to be merely whelmed.

Yup. It sure is. I like whelmed better than OVER whelmed. It's a cool feeling.

of course you can! :)

whelmed is to be covered or submerged. most people just say that they are overwhelmed. but whelmed alone is appropiate and correct

YES IT IS POSSIBLE!!
THE PART IS JUST AN EXPRESSION TO DESCRIBE OF HOW MUCH WHELMED YOU ARE.

Hmmmmm-that's deep, a puzzler. I know I have been "under" whelmed.

whelm
c.1300, probably from a parallel form of O.E. -hwielfan (W.Saxon), -hwelfan (Mercian), in ahwelfan "cover over;" probably altered by association with O.E. helmian "to cover" (see helmet).

No, it's a word unto itself and not able to broken up. Good idea, but no it's not possible.

Surely you're either overwhelmed or underwhelmed?
