Gerald posted last year about ett on this list:

I _think_ it originally stood for "Ethereal tree type". The first
implementation used a set of #defines in packet.h, like so from revision 2:
/* Tree types. Each dissect_* routine should have one for each
add_subtree() call. */
#define ETT_IEEE8023 0
#define ETT_ETHER2 1
#define ETT_LLC 2
#define ETT_TOKEN_RING 3
[ ... ]
I think "expansion tree type" is a much better definition.
