'foreigner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'floating bergs engulfed each and everything' is the wordplay.
'floating' indicates an anagram (float can mean fluctuate or oscillate).
'engulfed' is an insertion indicator.
'each' becomes 'ea'.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'everything' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'bergs' anagrammed gives 'grseb'.
'grseb' placed around 'ea' is 'greaseb'.
'greaseb'+'all'='GREASEBALL'

'from' acts as a link.
