If water is 'unable' to be compressed, how can it be pressurized?

I put 'unable' in quotes, because any fluid can be compressed just a little. But practically speaking, it cannot be compressed. So how can it be pressurized?

I'll attempt this.

The water is not really the factor here, it is the container (in the case of open containers like an ocean, the force of gravity acts as a top to the container.

Say you have a bottle of water that has been "pressurized" with the water. The water hasn't changed much at all. The container is deformed and the elasticity of the container is what pushes the water out when you open it, rather than a property of the water.

In cases where air is included with the water, the air is the matter being deformed, and is what pushes the water out when the closed system is breached.
