See C-h k M-DEL, which will tell ya:

M-DEL runs `backward-or-forward-kill-word'

`backward-or-forward-kill-word' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "c:\Hacking\cvs.xemacs.org\XEmacs\xemacs-21.5\lisp\simple.elc"
(backward-or-forward-kill-word ARG)

Documentation:
Delete either one word backwards or one word forwards.
Controlled by the state of `delete-key-deletes-forward' and whether the
BackSpace keysym even exists on your keyboard.  If you don't have a
BackSpace keysym, the delete key should always delete one character
backwards.
