This moves the word to the right of the cursor into a ring buffer. The last added element can be accessed via Ctrl+y. The possibly existing further elements in the ring buffer can then be called up via repeated Esc+y.

You can try Ctrl + k to delete from cursor to end of the line (all left side of the cursor), and Ctrl + u to delete from cursor to start of the line (all right side of the cursor).
Also, I find this nice blog post covering a handful of bash shortcut, you may want to give it a read skorks.com
