The phrase "tip of the iceberg" comes from the literal idea of an iceberg, which is a massive piece of ice floating in the ocean. However, what is visible above the water's surface is just a small portion of the entire iceberg; the majority of it is hidden beneath the water. This concept was first popularized in the early 20th century to describe situations where only a small, visible part of a larger issue or problem is apparent.
