"Fraud" is a legal definition.

"Defraud" is basically defined as "doing fraud" but from context it just means "swindling someone in fully legal ways"

The word fraud is almost always used in a legal context, but technically it's just the noun describing the act, while the word defraud is the verb designating the act of committing fraud.

But, I like your explanation, cause it's stone and concise!
