Compared to a monosaccharide carbohydrate, it is more complex (compare the ''di'' meaning two to the ''mono'' meaning one) as it is composed of, to put it simply, two sugar molecules whereas compared to the polysaccharide (''poly'' meaning many) carbohydrate made up of more than two sugar molecules, it is simple. I guess its all relative. :)

What is a complex carbohydrate and disaccharide of two simple sugars?
All polysaccharides must contain glycosidic linkages because they are what bind monosaccharides to eachother. The easiest example I can think of is maltose. Two glucose molecules are binded together by glycosidic linkages that form the maltose molecule.
