HAM, n. The inner or hind part of the knee the inner angle of the joint which unites the thigh and the leg of an animal. Hence,
1. The thigh of a beast, particularly of a hog, whether salted and cured or not. But the word is more generally understood to mean the thigh of a hog salted and dried in smoke.
