The noun is a regular nominalization of the verb 'appreciate' meaning gratitude or recognition, so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word appreciation comes from Latin parts ad- ('to') and pretium ('price' or 'value'), so it originally meant to give something a value. So when we show appreciation we are giving value to someone's help or kindness, which is why it means a feeling or action of thanks.
