Explanation

You set aside these words specifically so you could get the wording right. Wording is important sometimes, like when you're trying to communicate something sensitive, or when you're writing a poem. Sometimes only certain words will do.

Note that 措辞 usually refers to the phrasing or diction of writing, not speech.
