装着 vs 着装? Souchaku vs Chakusou


Both are used to mean equip right?

Any difference in meaning or are they interchangeable.

I noticed Japanese superhero shows seem to use both interchangeably, with
Justirisers using 装着 and others like Gogov and Tomica Hero Rescue force use
着装.




「装着{そうちゃく}」 and 「着装{ちゃくそう}」 should be interchangeable most of the time. If I
said otherwise, I would be fairly nitpicky.

If anything, 「着装」 is probably more often used to focus on the **_state_** of
something attached to the main and/or larger object while 「装着」 may tend to
focus more on the **_action_** of attaching something. If you, however, asked
me if this difference were of utmost importance, I would reply somewhat
negatively.
