It seems that I should be able to press some key combination in Terminal to delete the preceding word, but it doesn't seem to work for me. What is the key combination in OS X Terminal?

Research direction
Start with .inputrc at line 40 and compare its binding with the behavior of OS X Terminal. Confirm the correct key combination and document that guidance in the appropriate project location; done means the shortcut is clearly identified for Terminal users.
