It is an archaic form of the word 'hoe' meaning the large muscle in the leg - and is referred to as the 'ham.' To cut the hough of an animal or man, is to fully disable it - making it lame.

Joshua 11:9King James Version (KJV)

9 And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
