We can use phrases rather than single words in sentences for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses is to convey meaning better to a particular audience, for example, by saying "in disguise" or "under an assumed name" rather than "incognito".
Phrases can also sound more poetic or give a traditional flavor to a sentence. You might, for instance, say a bird was "on the wing" rather than just "flying" or that a person was "out of work" rather than "unemployed".
Note that the use of phrases often requires us to use prepositions, such as "in", "on", etc, at the start of a phrase to make the sentence complete.
