    Berg is a short, informal way of saying — a huge piece of ice floating in the sea. You'll also see '-berg' at the end of many place names (like Johannesburg), where it comes from an old Germanic word meaning 'mountain' or 'hill'.

Clipping of iceberg, a partial calque of Dutch ijsberg (ijs 'ice' + berg 'mountain').
