Galois group of a field

I was reading the following lemma

However I cannot understand what "Galois group of $F$" means. I usually look at a Galois group of an extension of fields.

Note: the previous result says that if $F$ is loclaly finite and quadratically closed and $[F:E]$, then $E$ is still quadraticlaly closed.
