The term TEE stands for:
Trusted execution environment
Trusted execution environment short form TEE is a Computing platform (e.g., based on Intel-CPUs) that features certain aspects (e.g., the transparency and verification of transactions and time logs), which are used in consensus mechanisms. For example, the PoET uses a random wait time for the construction of blocks (the validator with the shortest waiting time creates a block), which is delivered by TEE.
