quick way to remove item from list?

Does anyone know a quick way to remove a list item if you know the item’s name, other than using some sort of a loop? I’m looking for something that does the opposite of the & operator. Thanks!

The one I use is the “edit list” command in the Akua Sweets scripting addition. For example:
set theText to “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”
set theList to items of theText
set theList to edit list theList with edits {-1, -26, -13}
–>{“B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “G”, “H”, “I”, “J”, “K”, “L”, “N”, “O”, “P”, “Q”, “R”, “S”, “T”, “U”, “V”, “W”, “X”, “Y”}
