This phenomenon is called a "Jespersen's cycle" according to Wiktionary.
https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/cycle_de_Jespersen https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/cycle_de_Jespersen
Also according to Wiktionary, "guère" is unrelated to "guerre" (war) and "ne ... guère" is therefore not the product of a Jespersen's cycle.
