Can somebody please tell me what an Ent is?

This is probably an incredibly simple question to answer but I'm not sure. I've seen it used to describe a type of person a lot lately (on reddit) but have been unable to track down just what it means.

At first I thought it was the first 3 of the Myers-Briggs personality type, but now I'm pretty sure that is not the case.

Thanks in advance.

an Ent is a living tree from the Lord of the Rings universe and other fantasy titles (like ancients in Warcraft) On reddit though I believe it is referring to people who populate r/trees
