<referenceBlock name="customer.wishlist.items">
<block class="Companyname\Packagename\Block\Description" name="customer.wishlist.item.description" template="Magento_Wishlist::item/column/description.phtml" cacheable="false" after="customer.wishlist.item.name"/>

</body>

<?php 
$item = $block->getItem(); 
$product = $item->getProduct(); 
?> 
<strong class="product-item-description"> 
<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($product->getDescription()) ?> 
</strong>

class Description extends \Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist\Item\Column\Info
{
 /**

  */
protected $productRepository;

public function __construct(
\Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Context $context,
\Magento\Framework\App\Http\Context $httpContext,
array $data = [],
\Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface $productRepository
) {
