Commensal
1: Of or relating to those who habitually eat together. 2: Living in a relationship in which one organism obtains food or other benefits from another.
Living unharmed among the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone, the commensal clown fish is protected from predators.
Commensal types, be they human or animal, often "break bread" together. When they do, they're reflecting the etymology of "commensal," which derives from the Latin prefix com-, meaning "with, together, jointly," & the Latin adjective mensalis, meaning "of the table." In its earliest English uses, "commensal" referred to people who ate together, but around 1870, biologists started using it for organisms that have no use for table settings. Since then, the scientific sense has almost completely displaced the dining one.

Tiger Woods wins his 4th Masters Golf Tournament at
Augusta National Golf Club after a 15-foot birdie on the first hole of
the sudden-death playoff against Chris DiMarco on April 10, 2005. The
victory was Woods’ ninth major championship on the PGA tour.
Eldrick “Tiger” Woods was born December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California.
A golf prodigy, Woods began swinging a club at age two and went on to
win three U.S. Junior Amateurs followed by three straight U.S. Amateur
championships. After playing for Stanford University, he turned pro in
August 1996 and that season was named the PGA Rookie of the Year. On
April 13, 1997, Woods, then 21, won his first Masters at Augusta
National in Georgia.
Woods’ 72-hole score of 18-under-par 270 was the lowest in the
tournament history and shattered a record of 271 shared by Jack Nicklaus
and Raymond Floyd. Additionally, Woods, who defeated Tom Kite by a
record-setting margin of 12 stokes, became the youngest person to don
the green sport coat given to each year’s Masters’ victor, as well as
the first winner of African or Asian descent.
Woods went on to
win the Masters in 2001 and 2002. On April 10, 2005, he defeated Chris
DiMarco in a sudden-death playoff and earned his fourth green sport coat
at Augusta National. Woods also regained his No. 1 spot in the world
rankings, replacing Vijay Singh. The victory ended a so-called “drought”
in which Woods had failed to win any of his previous 10 major
tournaments. Woods, then 29, also became the first person to win four
Masters before age 30. Arnold Palmer won four Masters in his career,
while Jack Nicklaus holds the record with six wins.
Augusta National opened in 1933 and hosted the first Masters tournament, one of pro golf’s four major championships, in 1934.
Woods
dedicated his win to his father Earl, who was unable to attend the
tournament due to illness. His son’s earliest coach, Earl Woods died of
prostate cancer on May 3, 2006
