We present results from a polarization study of the radio-intermediatequasar, III Zw 2, at a redshift of 0.089, with the upgraded Giant MetrewaveRadio Telescope (uGMRT) at 685 MHz and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array(VLA) at 5 and 34 GHz. We detect a kpc-scale outflow, exhibiting transversemagnetic (B-) fields. The curved jet terminates in a bow-shock-like radiostructure with inferred B-fields aligned with the lobe edges. We suggest thatthe radio outflow in III Zw 2 is a combination of a collimated jet along with awind-like component. This "wind" component could be a magnetized accretion diskwind or the outer layers of a broadened jet or a combination of both. Thecurrent data cannot differentiate between these possibilities. We also detectkpc-scale lobe emission that is misaligned with the primary lobes in the uGMRTimages. The spectral indices and the electron lifetimes in the misaligned lobeare similar to the primary lobe, suggesting that the misaligned lobe is not arelic. We propose that changing spectral states of the accretion disk, and thesubsequent intermittent behaviour of the outflow, along with the closeinterplay between the jet and "wind" could explain the radio-intermediatenature of III Zw 2. Our study shows that radio-intermediate quasars arepromising sources for understanding the role of jets and winds in galaxyevolution and demonstrates the power of radio polarization studies towardsachieving this.
