Is there a way to delete the whole line if it contains specific word using sed? i.e. I have the following:

aaa bbb ccc

qqq fff yyy

ooo rrr ttt

kkk ccc www

I want to delete lines that contain 'ccc' and leave other lines intact. In this example the output would be:

qqq fff yyy

ooo rrr ttt

All this using sed. Any hints?
