is emergency contraception really contraception?

can someone explain to me how pills like the morning after pill and ellaone can be classified as contraceptives of any kind? as i understand, contraceptives (as the term implies) are meant to prevent conception, not preganancy. but these pills do not prevent conception. their main function is to prevent pregnancy after conception has taken place. so how can they be considered contraceptives?
