Why parasitism known as antagonism?

Parasites negatively affect, or antagonize, a host. At the host's expense, a parasite benefits from this negative relationship. For example, a small spider species that cannot spin its own webs, called Argyrodes, parasitize (or antagonize) Orb Weaver webs, "stealing" prey caught in the host Orb Weaver's web, contributing to destruction of the web at a faster rate, and leading to the Orb Weaver building a new web more often and feeding less per web than it would if the Orb Weaver alone was using and living in her own web.
