There's a subtle difference in meaning. "Usage" is about the way something is used, rather than the fact of its being used.
In English, there was, usually, a good reason for more than one word to exist with generally similar meaning. There would be a nuance (English word?? Another strength of English - if we have no suitable word, we'll borrow one) of meaning.
