With iTerm2 on Mac, how to delete forward a word from cursor on command-line?

Question

With iTerm2 1.0.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, I'd like to delete from cursor to the next end of word, i.e. deleting one word forward. I tried Alt+d but this types the delta operator symbol ∂ and doesn't delete. How to suppress the typing but let it delete?
