I believe the type of semantic shift involved in the examples given in the original post is subjectification. In this process, the meaning of the word shifts towards a subjective sense from an earlier neutral sense.
In historic (or diachronic) linguistics, subjectification (also known as objectivization or subjectivisation) is language change process in which a linguistic expression acquires meanings that
convey the speaker’s attitude or viewpoint. In this definition, the term subjectification occurs primarily in spoken and written form, but can also be useful in a conversational way, also, in any speech. • This is a pragmatic-semantic process, which means that inherent as well as contextual meaning of the given expression is considered. How is subjectification accomplished through syntax changes? It is also of interest to cognitive linguistics and pragmatics (cf. Ronald Langacker and Elizabeth Traugott. (2001).
Traugott proposes that the epistemic adverb evidently, which initially meant ‘from evidence, clearly’ and later developed as a subjective adverb, underwent subjectification: “1429

any continuity in the general theme of “N o Idea”? Wikimedia: “He is evidently right (in the meaning ‘I conclude that he is right’; strong subjective epistemic inviting the inference of some concession or doubt on speaker’s part)”
Source: Wikipedia/Subjectification(linguistics)
Here is another example of subjectification (of adjectives) from a paper of Traugott ( Pragmatics and Language Change, Stanford University): A modal domain
in which subjectification has recently been identified is that of modal adjectives like essential ( What originated as non-modal adjectives meaning ‘being such by its truth nature’ and ‘associated with life’; they both came to be used with dynamic modal meaning (necessity in the situation) and eventually deontic moral meaning. In the non-modal meaning the adjective is a classifier of the noun as in:
(10) Those essentiall parts of his (God) (1596 Spencer )
Van linden proposes that the key to the development of dynamic modal meanings was use with evaluative modification of the noun to which a particular feature is said to be essential:
(11) It is an essentiall property of man truly wise, not to open all the boxes of his bosome

The remnant of the family savings would the majority of the family get used in other places on the dingy opening on the empty ground. The rust painted dingy dingy facade would the entire family could still see the remnant of their savings at the other end for a day as they were seated at the door.

But, you can use mote to define the floating dust in sunlight:
A particle of dust, esp. a granular particle of particles. One of the innumerable minute specks seen floating in a beam of light. (contextually) an irritating particle in the eye or throat. If
you like a dog moving
freely around the sunbeam, you can see it moving freely.
