The bulk modulus of a substance is a measure of how volumetrically resistant to compression that substance is. It is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase to the resulting relative decrease of the volume.

Example:

Higher K {\displaystyle K} corresponds to greater volumetric resistance to compression.

Bulk Modulus can be thought as the resistance to changing the visible "Bulk" of a substance.
