Word origin
The word 'deed' originated from Middle English 'dede', Old English 'dวฃd', meaning an act, something done. The concept of deeds has been present in legal systems for centuries, with written documentation being crucial for transactions involving property or rights. Over time, 'deed' evolved to encompass both legal documents and moral actions, highlighting the dual nature of the term in modern usage.
