Bad behaviour did seem wrong (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misdeed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bad behaviour' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'did seem wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'did'+'seem'='didseem'
'didseem' is an anagram of 'MISDEED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misdeed that I've seen before include "crime" , "Illegal/wicked act" , "Wicked/illegal act" , "Improper act" , "Wicked or illegal act" .)
