Regular nominalization from the verb 'tittivate' to name the act or result ('-ion'), so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Tittivation comes from the playful verb tittivate, which means 'to make small, pretty changes'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a quick 'tidy' or 'tweak' that makes something look neater, which is why tittivation means small improvements to appearance.
