It's from the ancient teletype line handling. If I run
$ stty -a | grep werase
I see
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
So,
$ stty werase ^@
$ bind c-w: backward-kill-word
is a lot closer to vim, but not the same, in that in your example one "/" char
are included in each word.
You could put the "stty werase ^@" in your .bashrc. (That worked for me.)
Note that the usual place for bash key bindings is ~/.inputrc, and if you want
an insert mode binding it's tricky (maybe because bash isn't in insert mode yet
when .inputrc is processed). My .inputrc now looks like:
set keymap vi-command
"]": vi-yank-arg
set keymap vi-insert
"\C-l": clear-screen
"\C-w": backward-kill-word
