If you created custom attributes for product variation and you filled in their description, you may need to show the description on product page.

Product attributes are saved as an taxonomy terms. So you need to take a look, how the taxonomy is called in URL. It starts with pa_ and usually copy the name of the atrribute:

After that, we can simply use get_the_terms function with global $product variable.

You can do it with this code:

<?php
global $product; /*use the global variable*/
$fabric_values = get_the_terms($product->id, 'pa_zavazek'); /*change the pa_zavazek to your slug*/
if (!empty($fabric_values)) { /*check if it has terms*/?> 
    <h4 class="c-h5">Smluvní závazky</h4><!-- just a heading --><?
                                            foreach ($fabric_values as $fabric_value) { /*take all terms and do something*/ ?>
        <p class="c-bold"><?= $fabric_value->name /*echo name of term*/?></p>
        <p><?= $fabric_value->description  /*echo description of term*/?></p>
<?php }
                                        } ?>
