The word insan (human) contains several letters, but no individual letter is intended to denote a defined part of the concept human. Likewise, the letters of kitab (book) do not individually indicate constituents of the meaning book. Thus spelling a word into letters does not by itself make it murakkab. Ask whether the parts of the expression are deliberately made to denote parts of the signified meaning.
