Process of DNA replication if two DNA molecule come together

As a product of DNA replication two DNA molecules come into subsistence. Why is it not accurate to assert that two “new” DNA molecules are formed? Describe the name given to the process regarding that fact?

Throughout replication each and every chain of the DNA molecule perform by pairing new nucleotides and subsequent to the procedure two newly formed chains made up with the union of such nucleotides appear. Then two DNA molecules are made, each with one chain from the original molecule and one latest chain made by new nucleotides. Therefore it is not totally accurate to assert that the replication generates two new molecules of DNA. It is better to confirm that two new half-molecules are formed.

For this fact DNA replication is termed as semi conservative replication.
