open covering of $K$ = a collection of open sets such that $K$ is contained in the union of this collection
covers $K$ = $K$ is contained in their union
finite sub cover = there exist sets in this collection, finite in number, such that they also cover $K$
$B_j$ cover $K$ = the union of $B_j$ contains $K$.
As mentioned in the comments: A set $K$ is compact (in the general, topological way) if and only if for every cover (see definition above) $(U_\alpha)_{\alpha\in A}$ of $K$ that consists of open sets we can find a finite subcover $(U_{\alpha_j})_{j=1}^N$.
