Deed As a noun An action or act; something that is done. * Bible, Genesis xliv. 15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? A brave or noteworthy action; a feat or exploit. * Spenser knightly deeds * Dryden whose deeds some nobler poem shall adorn Action or fact, as opposed to rhetoric or deliberation. I have fulfilled my promise in word and in deed . (legal) A legal contract showing bond. I inherited the deed to the house. Derived terms * indeed Verb (en-verb) (informal) To transfer real property by deed. He deeded over the mineral rights to some fellas from Denver.

Many differences! First the word class: One is a verb, the other a noun. A "deed" is an action. "To think" is the act of thinking.
