Is "kind of" a verb + preposition?

I heard this in a TV show:

Person A: Does it hurt?
Person B: Yeah, kind of.

I don't think that "kind of" is a phrasal verb. Am I right? Is it just a verb + preposition?

There is no verb in that expression at all/ 'Kind of' is an informal way of saying 'in a way'.
