I was intrigued by this so I had a look in the good ol' dictionary, and whelmed *is" a word... Although it's meaning is closer to overwhelmed than it is to, say, nonplussed as you might assume. The "over" has been added for emphasis rather than to change the meaning, and I assume underwhelmed came later.
