It's merely a (if not the) common term for these covers. Sort of like calling a rondeau a brazier. The definition of "braise" doesn't really enter into it.
Guy goes into a resto supply store... "Gimmee a couple of those whatchamacallits that you throw over eggs." "You mean basting covers? Right this way."
