Recent neutron scattering observations by [Plumb et al., Phys. Rev. X 6, 041055 (2016)] reveal that the ground state of ${FeSc}_{2} S_{4}$ is magnetic with two distinct Fe environments, instead of a quantum spin liquid as had been previously thought. Starting with the relevant O(N)-symmetric vector model of ${FeSc}_{2} S_{4}$ , we study how the discrete (Z₂) and continuous rotational symmetries are successively broken, yielding nematic and ordered phases. At high temperatures, we find that the nematic order parameter falls as T^–γ (γ > 0), and therefore, ${FeSc}_{2} S_{4}$ lacks any distinct nematic ordering temperature. Furthermore, this feature indicates that the three-dimensional diamond lattice of ${FeSc}_{2} S_{4}$ is highly susceptible to the breaking of Ising symmetries, and explains the two distinct Fe environments that are present even at high temperatures, as seen by Mössbauer and far-infrared optical spectroscopy.
