After one of the comment suggestion i added:

```
                    <?php 
    if ( have_posts() ) {
        while ( have_posts() ) {
            the_post(); 
global $post, $product; $categ = $product->get_categories(); $term = get_term_by ( 'name' , strip_tags($categ), 'product_cat' ); echo $term->description; 
        } // end while
    } // end if
?>

```

Still, not work.

Answer: 
[`the_archive_description()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_archive_description/) worked for my purposes when other (more complicated) solutions would not.

Optional before and after string parameters can be added if needed.
The main answer for some reason displayed more than one description for me.

The answer below solved this for anyone with the same issue:
