Thanks giving is not one word but two words. The word “thank” when used as a transitive verb implies action and it means one of the following – 1. to express gratitude to in acknowledgment of having received something good from another and/or 2. to hold responsible. “Giving” on the other hand, when used as a transitive verb implies “to offer to the action of another”.
