I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Commensalism describes a relationship between two living organisms where one benefits and the other is not significantly harmed or helped. It is derived from the English word commensal used of human social interaction. The word derives from the medieval Latin word, formed from com- and mensa, meaning "sharing a table"."? 

What, in terms of etymology, came first: commensal or commensalism?
